3 men accused of facilitating terrorism in alleged extremist plot denied bail
Three men facing terrorism-related charges in an alleged anti-government plot to forcibly take over land in the Quebec City region have been denied bail. Quebec Court Judge René de la Sablonnière made the decision in Quebec City's courthouse Wednesday. The Crown opposed bail for Simon Angers-Audet, 24, Raphaël Lagacé, 25, and Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24. The three men appeared in Quebec City court for the decision, and were also present during the bail hearing which lasted three days. The contents of the evidence presented at the bail hearing cannot be reported due to a publication ban requested by the Crown and granted by the judge. The three men are among four people arrested in July for allegedly trying to start an anti-government "community" north of Quebec City. The RCMP alleges that one of the accused was running an Instagram account aimed at recruiting members. Angers-Audet, Lagacé and Chabot face charges of facilitating a terrorist activity, as well as other charges related to the illegal storage of firearms, and possession of explosives and prohibited devices. A fourth accused — Matthew Forbes, 33 — is facing weapons charges and was granted bail under a lengthy list of conditions that includes wearing a GPS tracking bracelet.
