York Regional Police have charged a now-former Richmond Hill city councillor with fraud after an investigation revealed a scam that saw her husband paid over $20,000 from August 2019 to May 2020.
In a release issued Tuesday, police said more than $21,000 was paid to the spouse of Coun. Karen Cilevitz over a span of ten months.
“The investigation revealed that a councillor had hired an additional staff member, then arranged for the new employee to give a portion of their pay to the councillor’s spouse,” Sergeant Andy Pattenden said.
