Charbonneau Comm'n Adjourns Until Jan 2013

The Charbonneau Commission which is investigating corruption allegations involving the Montreal Mafia and dirty officials in the award of public contracts in the construction industry is breaking until mid-January as reported by Monique Muise for The Gazette:  "the inquiry cancelled 12 days of public hearings this month, opting to continue working behind the scenes to catch up on administrative work, review evidence and prepare for the next series of witnesses -- rumoured to include reputed mob boss Vito Rizzuto and his [alleged] former right-hand man, Raynald Desjardins."
