Chief military judge faces five more charges, case proceeding to court martial
OTTAWA — Canada’s top military judge is facing five additional charges following an independent investigation, the Department of National Defence said Monday as it announced that his case is now proceeding to a formal court martial.
The military justice system was rocked in January after Col. Mario Dutil was charged with one count of fraud under the National Defence Act, one count of wilfully making a false entry in an official document and one count of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.
The new charges include one count of wilfully making a false statement in an official document, one count of fraud under the Criminal Code and three counts of neglect to the prejudice of good order and discipline.
