An arrest warrant was issued Thursday morning against singer Corneliu Munteanu, who did not appear in Criminal Court.
The 40-year-old man, who made himself known on the show Star Academyis accused of drugging two people, in 2013 and 2016. He appeared last January.
The charge is the same in both cases: administering or causing to be taken “a poison, a destructive substance or a deleterious substance” with the intention of distressing or tormenting a person. The alleged actions were allegedly committed in Montreal, the first time in August 2013 and the second in June 2016.
He was supposed to be present for the rest of the proceedings Thursday morning at the Montreal courthouse, but he was nowhere to be found.
“The gentleman was called to the floors, his lawyers have not heard from him, so the Court notes the defect and orders the issuance of an arrest warrant against him,” declared the judge sitting in room 4.07.
The artist participated in the second edition of the popular Quebec show Star Academyin 2004.
