Former CFO for UCP leadership candidate faces 2 years in jail, accused of 'corrupt practice'

Quote:
The chief financial officer for former UCP leadership candidate Jeff Callaway is facing up to two years in prison or a $50,000 fine for allegations of "corrupt practice," in breach of the Elections Act.
Quote:
In 2017, Eaton was simultaneously the CFO for both the Callaway campaign and the Energize Alberta Corp., considered a prohibited entity under the Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act (EFCDA), meaning it cannot contribute to a campaign or candidate.

Based on financial disclosure and interviews with Eaton, Cameron Davies and Jeff Park, the commissioner found the former CFO was paying campaign staffers with money from Energize Alberta, amounting to unlawful contributions made to Callaway's campaign from a prohibited corporation.

It also alleges Eaton made a false statement when she signed and filed with Callaway's leadership contestant financial statement.
