Former Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment CEO was indicted on multiple charges of bid rigging in Texas after a scandal for a new stadium was exposed.
Tim Leiweke took over as MLSE CEO from Richard Peddie upon his retirement in 2013, but departed MLSE in 2015 after just two years as CEO.
According to reports, Leiweke had allegedly steered numerous entertainment contracts towards his company from 2018 to 2024. In the indictment, which was filed at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Leiweke was accused of striking a side deal with the CEO of a competitor to back down in bidding for the arena contract in exchange for sub-contracts.
At the time of writing, Leiweke nor the Oak View Group responded to inquiries from the media regarding the allegations.
Certainly an unexpected bit of news, and there are a lot more questions than answers at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become available.
