The man accused of impersonating a Canadian soldier during a Remembrance Day ceremony in the nation’s capital is expected to have his first court appearance Tuesday.
Franck Gervais, 32, of Cantley, Que. — a town north of Gatineau — has been charged under Section 130 of the Criminal Code with impersonating a public officer and misleading use of a badge or uniform. He’s also been charged under Section 419 with unlawful use of a military uniform and decoration.
The maximum sentence for someone found guilty of impersonating a public officer is five years in prison. Unlawfully using a military uniform carries a smaller sentence, which can include fines or a shorter prison term.
Gervais was interviewed by media outlets including CBC and the Citizen on Nov. 11 at the National War Memorial in full military uniform. CBC aired the interview as part of its national coverage of the ceremonies. Soon, military members began to question the uniform Gervais was wearing and his credentials.
The Canadian Forces subsequently said it did not have a member with his name.
Amid the public outrage the followed, police laid charges.
It was not known whether Gervais would appear in person for the court appearance.
