A provincial Crown attorney in eastern Newfoundland has been charged by the RCMP with over 10 offenses, including smuggling, illegal importation, and prohibited gun possession.

RCMP court filings indicate that charges are pending against a provincial Crown prosecutor in Newfoundland and Labrador after police seized a cache of firearms and prohibited weapons late last year.

In the sexual assault trial of Canadian businessman Frank Stronach, his defense lawyer is arguing that some complainants were coached by Crown prosecutors prior to their testimony.

Former provincial Crown prosecutor Tim O'Brien claims his former colleagues kept him in the dark and treated him disrespectfully in an extortion case where he was the victim.
