After seeing his wife acquire a palace in Lac-Beauporta businessman convicted of tax evasion, continues to live the life of a pasha while his couple paid for a $200,000 gold box to put on their wedding rings.
As users can see in a video posted to TikTok, Jean-Noël “Sarto” Lacroix and his wife-to-be have had nothing to look forward to, even though the man has had dozens of bosses charged with white-collar crimes throughout his life.
According to the presentation on the Jewelery Medusa account, it took 80 hours of labor to create the one-of-a-kind three-piece 24k gold box.
The names of the two lovers were engraved on the box and are visible in the excerpt, which has been shared more than 500 times.
The cost of the rings was not specified. The jeweler mentions in the recording that platinum rings will be featured in an upcoming post.
In 2021, the couple had made headlines since the lady became the owner of a massive luxury home on the water’s edge for the modest sum of $4.15 million. At the time it was the most expensive house ever sold in Lac-Beauport.
Long timetable
Over the past fifteen years, the name Jean-Noël Lacroix has appeared many times in multiple fraud files.
In 2006, as President of Flamidor, he pleaded guilty to a total of 40 counts of illegally operating life insurance before the Autorité des Marchés Financiers and his heating company filed for bankruptcy.
He also admitted his guilt in 2014 after being charged with theft in a $900,000 tax evasion case. He then has to serve 2 years less in the church every day and pay a fine of $30,000.
Between his two incidents, Lacroix was also arrested for making death threats against his sister. He is eventually acquitted, but links to bikers and organized crime are exposed in court.
