A timeshare operation in Alberta is now facing nearly 200 charges after three years under investigation.

Four organizations and two individuals are facing charges, according to the Alberta consumer protection legislation.

The implicated names are: Chateau World Vacations Inc. and its director Kim Schram; Properties International Ltd., Royal Crown Resorts Ltd., Royal Club Resorts Inc., and Royal’s director Andre Muran.

They are accused of fraud, misrepresentation, and using “innuendo” in consumer transactions.

There were 59 consumers, who lost more than $1 million, to contracts that said the facilities were secured in a trust. However, this stipulation turned out to be false.

The implicated persons are scheduled to appear in court this August.
