Grewal appeared in court Monday via videoconference as his lawyer, Nader Hasan, put forward his motion for a directed verdict and an acquittal on all charges

Hasan says in his written arguments there is a difference between misusing one’s official status for a corrupt purpose and making a mistake – or even acting dishonourably – while serving in office.

An analysis of Grewal’s bank accounts offered during the prosecution’s evidence found that he had taken in some $6 million worth of deposits larger than $10,000 in the time after he was elected as an MP, and that significant amounts of that money went to payments at the Casino Lac-Leamy. A former Liberal staffer testified that both Yusuf Yenilmez and Andy Dhugga were on a shortlist of people whom Grewal invited to a private meet-and-greet with Trudeau.

The prosecution also alleged that seven other lenders received immigration-related assistance from Grewal’s office, most commonly in the form of letters supporting applications for temporary resident visas. If such letters and even invitations to meet-and-greets are standard activities for an MP’s office, it would have been more problematic, Hasan argues, if Grewal had “refused to provide these men with these standard constituency services simply because he had a personal relationship with them or obtained personal loans from them.”
