The legal battle involving equipment supplier Paul Bronfman and Larry Sacchetti has heated up with the filing of dueling motions in a case of alleged kickback schemes.
The owner of Canada’s top production rental company has filed a motion in the Ontario Superior Court to compel a former top executive to provide information related to an on-going lawsuit alleging corruption, kickback schemes and a cover-up.
Paul Bronfman, president and CEO of William F. White International (WFW), in a Nov. 21, 2012, affidavit attached to a 2011 lawsuit urged the court to compel Larry Sacchetti, a former company COO, to disclose key information about a “Sacchetti Family Investment Partnership.”
WFW believes Sacchetti does not have exclusive control over the partnership, and may in fact be a trustee.
The Bronfman motion to compel discovery is related to a separate motion from Sacchetti before the Ontario Superior Court to force WFW to pay him the purchase price of shares in the former Comweb Corp. and various subsidiaries.
Sacchetti acquired those shares via a loan provided to him by WFW.
The twin lawsuits allege the former WFW executives engaged in kickback schemes and other corrupt practices.
Among the abuses alleged against White and Sacchetti were orchestrating fraudulent kickback schemes to purchase film production equipment from vendors Kingsway Motion Picture Ltd. and Theatricus Inc., and improper accounting treatment of the schemes.
