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.

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 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.
