A court case involving a prominent Alberta separatist who had his assets frozen is set to move forward Wednesday.
Last week, Justice Michael Marion in Calgary granted an interim injunction freezing up to $8.5 million in assets held by Jeffrey Rath.
That injunction is set to be reviewed as part of a legal battle between Rath and Tallcree First Nation over a multimillion-dollar trust fund.

The northern Alberta First Nation alleges Rath, its former lawyer, misappropriated millions from the fund.
The allegations have not been tested in court.

For more than a year, Rath has been a main spokesperson for a movement seeking to have Alberta split from Canada.
Albertans are to vote in an Oct. 19 referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or to start the process for a second, binding referendum on separation.
To all you losers below, it may not be a Liberal conspiracy at all. Maybe Rath is just a scumbag thief.
The Librrals did that to Freedom Convoy yoo in 2022!! Liberals are crooks and communist! They have a huge ego and have been in “power” too long!!
wow global news. way to leave out the fact (for those who will take this as a sole source (for their obvious rasism)) that it was RBC (the new trustee) that brought forward the fraud that had happened to the trust. Rath had already been told by the courts that the fee he was charging (20% of the settlement) was over the top and to give it back. only for him to transfer those funds to a personal account, which is why they were frozen.
Nonsense.
liberal government should be investigated
this is proof of how corrupt the liberal government is .does not show me otherwise
This is a smear campaign against Rath by FNs, Carney, , Nenshi, and eastern Canadian socialists who don’t like the Alberta Independence movement.
Another dirty RAT. Oops, I meant Rath.
This seems like spiteful backlash, trying to add increased friction to the Alberta independence movement. This was a desperate play by the Liberals trying to instill fear to the separatists, but its just going to further motivate the cause to end Ottawa’s greedy corruption.
