Disgraced former Ontario government employee Sanjay Madan has pled guilty to stealing $47.4 million from the provincial government and was sentenced to a decade behind bars in a Toronto court on Tuesday.

He was first charged with theft of the aid funding in 2021, but later admitted to an additional $36.6 million fraud scheme involving kickbacks on government-owned computers going all the way back to 2010, bringing his total haul to $47.4 million.that Justice Suhail Akhtar described the crime as"genius-style" when delivering his sentencing, where Madan learned he would be relinquishing 10 years of freedom as payment for his years of living large.
