The federal Liberal party has been left scrambling after its candidate for a potential election was charged with two counts of fraud in connection with an alleged cheque-kiting scheme.
The longtime party worker, who runs a online blog called "What do I know Grit," was arrested yesterday afternoon at his Portage Road real estate office and charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000.
It's alleged cheque-kiting took place between $15,000 and $20,000 between two Niagara Falls banks. The RCMP say cheque-kiting is a fraudulent act whereby cash is recorded in more than one bank account, but in reality, the cash is either non-existent or is in transit.
Detective Constable Tracey McCabe, who headed the Niagara police investigation, would not identify the two banks. She said her probe began when a complaint was made to police in February.
Liberal party official Nithy Ananth said the party's Toronto office began getting calls mid-afternoon yesterday from Niagara Liberals that Curran had been arrested.
