Former Sask. First Nation accountant gets bail
A man accused of stealing millions from the Whitecap Dakota First Nation has been granted bail.
Hugo Gallegos was granted bail in a Saskatoon courtroom Thursday morning on the condition he surrender his passports, have his fingerprints taken and register his address with police.
The search for Gallegos began back in September after the former accountant left town without saying where he was going. At around the same time, it was noticed roughly $2.5 million had gone missing.
A Canada-wide warrant had been issued for Gallegos' arrest, but there were concerns he had actually left the country.
