PETERBOROUGH-Former Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro is headed back behind bars tonight after losing an appeal of his earlier sentence.
The Court of Appeal released it’s decision today dismissing Del Mastros appeal. He was found guilty of overspending during an election campaign and then trying to cover it up in June 2015. He was sentenced to a month in jail but appealed the verdict. The appeal was heard in June in Toronto.
The ruling did find that the trial judge made an error but it was not enough to overturn the verdict.
More to come….
