Court martial begins for military’s top judge
GATINEAU, Que. — The Canadian Forces’ top judge is in a military courtroom today where he faces eight charges, including two counts of fraud.
Col. Mario Dutil’s court martial is not only unprecedented given his position, but it is also shaping up as a test for the military’s justice system.
Dutil was charged last year over allegations he had a consensual but inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and knowingly signed a travel claim for $927.60 containing false information.
