Senator Pierrette Ringuette tells CHSJ News the RCMP confirm they handed over personal and business info about Tepper to the Algerian government in 2008.
She says this flies in the face of Ottawa's stance to not get involved in the legal affairs of a sovereign nation.
Ringuette says this is bogus and an excuse not to intervene and not to help Mr. Tepper come back home.
Tepper has been in a Lebanon prison since March after being accused of trying to import bad potatoes.
