The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) arrested on Wednesday the co-founder of the major real estate agency Groupe Sutton Québec, Christophe Jose Folla, in connection with a series of fires in commercial buildings in the Laurentians in recent years.
Police officers from the SQ’s major crimes investigation division also arrested Benjamin Amar and Alain Marc Nahmias.
The three men face two counts of starting fires causing damage to commercial buildings between December 2017 and November 2022 in Saint-Sauveur and Sainte-Thérèse, in the Laurentians, as well as conspiracy with the aim of committing these criminal acts.
None of these allegations have yet been proven in court and the three men, like all defendants, are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The three suspects must appear at the Saint-Jérôme courthouse.
