Judge points to ‘tainted’ process in Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital bidding process at Bondfield trial

The judge presiding over the trial of two men facing criminal fraud charges stemming from the $300-million redevelopment of Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital says the bidding process was “tainted.”Vas Georgiou, former chief administrative officer of St. Michael’s, and John Aquino, the former president of Bondfield Construction Co. Ltd., are each charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000. Both men have pleaded not guilty.
