This event occurs a few days after the chosen one received threats. This is why investigators from the Sûreté du Québec have opened an investigation.
The constituency office was “violently smashed,” says the elected official, still in shock.
Computers have been stolen. Filing cabinets that were locked were smashed. Blood was even found on one of the filing cabinets, testifying to the violence of the break-in. The thieves even stole the server from the surveillance cameras.
“I want to warn people that there may have been a breach of confidentiality,” insists Mr. Ciccone, who recalls that the deputies deal with several files of citizens living in the county.
“I am a little upset for the safety of my employees and the safety also of the citizens, in terms of confidentiality”, supports the deputy for Marquette, visibly shaken.
This event is in addition to a message left on the voicemail of the Liberal riding office just a few days ago by a man uttering threats against Enrico Ciccone.
