Montreal man sentenced for fraudulent scheme involving dozens of tax returns
Montreal - A man from Montreal has been sentenced to a conditional two years and one day imprisonment for a fraudulent scheme involving forged documents and tax returns. Félix Vil, the accused, pleaded guilty to one count of fraud exceeding $5,000 and one count of document forgery. The Canada Revenue Agency alleges that Vil falsely claimed over $438,000 in charitable donations on tax returns for 62 clients.
It further states that Vil prepared these returns through his company, FEFA Multiservice Inc., and produced counterfeit donation receipts in the name of a Montreal church to support some of these claims. The scheme led to an estimated $125,000 in tax evasion. Vil was sentenced at a Montreal courthouse on September 2, 2026.
