OTTAWA (AP) — The former chief of Canadian forces in Afghanistan has been charged with criminal and military offenses related to allegations of an intimate relationship with a member of his staff.
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service said Monday that Brigadier General Daniel Menard has been charged with two counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline related to alleged inappropriate conduct under military regulations. He has also been charged with one count of obstructing justice.
General Menard’s subordinate, Master-Corporal Bianka Langlois, has been charged with conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.
General Menard was removed from command in May following allegations he had an intimate relationship with a member of his staff.
