Calgary police launched an investigation after Monier’s family became suspicious over Borschowa’s activities as executor.

In 2021, he was charged with fraud and theft over $5,000.

Police say Borschowa stole more than $500,000 from the estate.

Borschowa pleaded guilty to the charges after they were laid, but sentencing in the case has been delayed on multiple occasions.

The hearing is expected to begin at 9 a.m.
