Controversies

Benito made a campaign promise that, if elected, he would donate his salary to charity. He later claimed that he didn't mean he'd give away his entire salary, just a part of it.[1][2]

Benito blamed his wife for a failure to pay property taxes on their rental properties.[3] Benito later paid the taxes—but only after his picture appeared on the Edmonton Journal's front page under the headline, "Backbencher hasn't paid property taxes on rental properties."[4][5]

In October, 2022, Benito, together with his son, Charles Benito, pleaded guilty to immigration fraud.[6] Benito was fined $75,000.00 for this offence.[7]
