The former CEO of Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation’s business arm, Denesoline Corporation, has been ordered to transfer a property back to the First Nation-owned company.
Ron Barlas is accused of misappropriating money from the Łutsel K’e Dene First Nation (LKDFN) company. The First Nation alleges he used some of that to buy properties in Yellowknife.
In July 2024, the N.W.T. Supreme Court found that Barlas “abused” his position as Denesoline CEO. Justice Karan Shaner said Barlas used company resources for personal gain.
