The Globe and Mail quotes Ottawa counsel Patrick McCann and mentions Ottawa lawyer Nabila Abdul Malik in an article on the first-ever acquittal in bribery and corruption case.
This case is the first time a defendant charged under the Corruption of Foreign Officials Act has been acquitted by a Canadian court after being successfully defended, according to Patrick McCann, a counsel at Fasken who, along with fellow lawyer Nabila Abdul Malik, represented Mr. Arapakota. Other cases resulted in either convictions or pleas, he said.
