Legal Charges against Former Royal Group Director Sorbara Dropped

Former Royal Group Technologies (NYSE:RYG) Director Greg Sorbara has dodged a legal bullet when criminal proceedings against him were dismissed. The question does remain. What and when did he know? Royal Group had purchased real estate from the Sorbara family while Greg Sorbara was on the board and audit chairman. The real estate deal became a debacle and many cannot understand why it was done in the first place as it had nothing to do with Royal Groups business. Civil proceedings may be in order. This is a governance and common sense disaster. Still does not pass the smell test.
