Louise Léger-Villandré, ex-Hudson director general, gets 30 months in prison
Former city manager admitted to defrauding town of Hudson of more than $1 million
The former director general of Hudson, Que. has been sentenced to 30 months in prison on fraud-related charges.
Louise Léger-Villandré was sentenced at the Valleyfield courthouse on Monday.
In December, she pleaded guilty to six criminal charges including fraud, breach of trust and the use of forged documents. She admitted to defrauding the town of Hudson of more than $1 million.
The case relates to a series of events that took place between 1997 and 2013. She was accused of fraudulently depositing more than $1 million in municipal cheques into a personal bank account over that time span.
Hudson's current city manager, Jean-Pierre Roy, said the town is healing and he is satisfied with the sentence.
Léger-Villandré was arrested by investigators with the anti-corruption unit (UPAC) in October 2014. She originally faced 19 fraud-related charges.
