MONTREAL». April n — (C?) — Albert Sansoucy, whose safety-de- posit box turned up s fortune in bonds and currency before eyes of unsuspecti g R. C. M. P., today was fined $100,000, with alternative prison terms of 2% years, for tax evasion.

It was the largest tax-evasion fine ever imposed in Canada.

The fines covered five charges involving 01,0000!) in violation of income and excess profits taxes by Sansoucy personally and his textile company, Albert Sansoucy, Ltd. .

Guilty pleas to the five charges were entered by Sansoucyb counsel last March 25.

Ten other charges of income- tax evasion were withdrawn.

All charges involved vioiaifons from 1M3 to i946 and discovered late in i947.

Revenue Department officials said that in addition to the $100,- 000 fine, Bansoucy has paid or is paying around $1,000,000 into Fed- eral coffers. This includes the amount of tax he evaded. plus late filing and interest penalties.

Ottawa records show the previous heaviest total fine forgtsx evasion in Canada is $48,000 for evasions amounting to $243,000. ,

The Bansoucy case broke ,in December. i947. R. C. M.‘ P. search- ing for stolen bonds came upon Sansoucyb safety-deposit box. It contained more than $1,000,000 in Canadian and United States securities and currency.

These were seized by the gov- ernment and Sansoucy subsequent- ly was fined H.541) for failure to declare possession of that amount in U. S. currency, as requested by Foreign Exchange Board regulat- ous.
