The Ontario Securities Commission has closed its investigation into three former Nortel Networks executives who were acquitted of fraud last year.
The regulator says it’s no longer in the public’s interest for it to pursue the allegations against ex-CEO Frank Dunn, ex-CFO Douglas Beatty and ex-controller Michael Gollogly. The OSC allegations were originally filed in March 2007.
An Ontario judge found Dunn, Beatty and Gollogly not guilty of fraud last year.
