Two members of the same family were in possession of a BMW vehicle. The car dealer had the vehicle declared stolen, and both women were arrested in Texas under an international cooperation program between police forces. They were charged at the Montreal Palais de justice with possession of stolen property worth over $ 5,000 (Section 355 a) Criminal Code) and having stolen a motor vehicle
(Section 333.1 (1) a) Criminal Code). They hired criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier to defend them.
Mr Cormier forwarded to the Prosecutor some documents proving the clients could not be found guilty, and asked the Prosecutor to drop all the charges. After double-checking some things, the Prosecutor agreed to this request and therefore, the legal complaint against the clients was cancelled.
Not all Xavier Cormier’s clients are acquitted. See notice.
