Since 2012, Accurso is entangled in several court cases. If he was acquitted of breach of trust for having helped the former Mayor of Mascouche Richard Marcotte, he was found guilty of taking part in the contract rebate system in Laval, with the former mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.
Pipeline In the civil suit, the team of lawyers explained that they had been assured that Accurso and Simard Beaudry Cosntruction would pay certain costs in the case, where there are several accused.
"The fees would be borne by the defendants due to the fact that the work on the files benefited the defendants as part of their own judicial system," reads the court document.
In 2017, the law firm received a first payment of $ 40,000. Then, a few months later, another check for $ 271,000 was paid by Accurso. But since then, the tycoon of fallen construction no longer pays, he laments in the pursuit.
"The defendants have reiterated a few times that the payment [...] would take place upon receipt of proceeds from the sale of a pipeline in western Canada belonging to Simard Beaudry Construction," says the law firm.
However, despite this sale that would have occurred at the beginning of the year, Accurso would have paid nothing, despite several promises reassuring.
