不会是单纯的家庭财产纠纷，他死前的几天SHERMAN正上诉，关于对联邦lobbying commissioner将要对他为土豆自由党竞选拉赞助的丑闻对他的进一步详细调查。水很深。

Only days before he died, Toronto billionaire Barry Sherman was attempting to quash an investigation into a political fundraiser he held for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that allegedly ran afoul of lobbying rules.
Sherman, who was found dead along with his wife, Honey, at their house on Friday, had been under investigation by lobbying commissioner Karen Shepherd since October 2016, and was facing a possible five-year ban from lobbying because of the fundraiser he hosted during the last federal election.
The lobbyists’ code of conduct prohibits registered lobbyists, such as Sherman, from lobbying office holders they helped get elected.
Last May, Sherman filed a lawsuit in Federal Court to block the lobbying commissioner’s probe into him and his pharmaceutical company Apotex because it had been “taken and pursued in bad faith and/or for an improper purpose.”
“The investigation is an unanchored fishing expedition,” Sherman states in his notice of application, further alleging subpoenas issued by the lobbying commissioner to compel Apotex executives to talk are “unconstitutional and, as a result, unenforceable.”
The allegations haven’t been proven in court and the case is ongoing, but documents were filed by Sherman’s lawyers days before he died. |
