SNC-Lavalin saga unravelling fast for Trudeau

The headquarters of SNC-Lavalin is seen in Montreal on November 6, 2014. The federal director of public prosecutions is asking a court to toss out a plea from SNC-Lavalin to spare the company from criminal proceedings. The director's court filing is the latest twist in a dispute at the heart of high-profile allegations the Prime Minister's Office leaned on former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to intervene on the engineering firm's behalf. SNC-Lavalin faces legal trouble over allegations it paid millions of dollars in bribes to obtain government business in Libya, which would be a crime under Canadian law.
