Ten Toronto Transit Commission employees have been charged in relation to a multi-million dollar benefits fraud scam, Toronto police say. Police further allege the same owner defrauded the city with several city employees submitting about $96,000 in false claims to Manulife. An employee at the business is charged with fraud over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit the indictable offence of fraud over $5,000. The ten TTC employees charged appeared in court last week. In a statement to CBC Toronto, TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said the commission took immediate action to investigate when it became aware of the issue.
