BC Prosecution Service says former clerk of the provincial legislature facing charges following a lengthy investigation

BY , Dec 19, 2020 1:43 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

The former clerk of the provincial legislature is facing charges following a lengthy RCMP investigation into the activities of the chamber's senior staff.

The BC Prosecution Service says Craig James has been charged with four counts of breach of trust and two counts of fraud in excess of five-thousand dollars.

James and sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz were placed on administrative leave two years ago and retired in 2019.

He could not be reached for comment on the charges.

But he and Lenz denied any wrongdoing after a report in early 2019 alleged they had engaged in inappropriate spending on personal items and foreign trips.
