Constantine Kyres, who headed the tax group in Dentons’ Montreal office until earlier this year, has been charged with extortion and obstruction of justice by prosecutors in Canada as a result of a long-running corruption probe involving a top Canadian company and its alleged ties to the government of late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
