Public Prosecution Service of Canada: Sentence in R. v. Sona

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/19/14 -- Michael Sona was sentenced today in the Ontario Court of Justice, in Guelph, Ontario, to 9 months in prison plus 12 months of probation, for committing an offence under the Canada Elections Act.

Mr. Sona was charged on April 2, 2013, with wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent an elector, in Guelph, from voting in the 2011 federal general election, contrary to section 281(g) of the Canada Elections Act. This resulted in Mr. Sona committing an offence contrary to section 491(3)(d) of the Canada Elections Act.

He was found guilty on August 14, 2014.

Both parties have 30 days to decide whether they will seek to appeal this sentence. For the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, the decision to appeal is guided by the policies outlined in the PPSC Deskbook, a publicly available document.

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada is responsible for prosecuting offences under federal jurisdiction in a manner that is free of any improper influence and that respects the public interest. The PPSC is also responsible for providing prosecution-related advice to law enforcement agencies across Canada
