November
30, 2011 – The RCMP sent business and personal information to Algerian
officials about a New Brunswick farmer now being held in a Lebanese prison over
a shipment of bad potatoes to Algeria, CBC News has learned.

The
police force tried to interview Henk Tepper in 2009, but he said he wanted a

by the CBC’s Laurie Graham. The documents show the RCMP closed the file – eight
months after the force sent Tepper’s financial information to Algerian
officials.
