Nathan Jacobson: Legal Difficulties

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Dept: The revelation raises questions about why senior officials didn t warn the prime minister and senior cabinet ministers about Jacobson s legal difficulties, according to Montreal Gazette. Spokespeople for Baird, Kenney and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have all said their bosses were not aware of Jacobson s legal difficulties and oTTAWA Canada s foreign affairs department blocked the appointment of Canadian businessman Nathan Jacobson as Costa Rica s honorary consul to Toronto in 2007 after an RCMP review, documents from the Central American country show. Jacobson, who pleaded guilty to money laundering in San Diego in 2008, was a friend of Foreign Affairs Minister Baird and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney until Postmedia News reported on his legal difficulties this past summer, when he failed to surrender to American authorities as agreed.
