Former Laval mayor Gilles Vaillancourt has been granted day parole on the sentence he received in December when he pleaded guilty to the system of collusion he ran while awarding city contracts to construction companies and engineering firms.
The Parole Board of Canada made the decision on Thursday and a written summary of the decision was released to the Montreal Gazette on Friday, just hours after the trial of Antonio Accurso ended in a mistrial.
Accurso is alleged to have been one of the people who took part in the system of collusion.
