OTTAWA - Canada’s Federal Court on Friday rejected a bid by SNC-Lavalin Group Inc to challenge prosecutors who insist the construction company must face trial on charges of corruption.

Trudeau’s government faces allegations that top officials pressured former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to direct prosecutors to strike a deal rather than go ahead with a trial. Trudeau, whose prospects for winning an election in October have dimmed as the crisis grows, sidestepped questions from reporters about the ruling on Friday, repeating his government was focused on trying to protect jobs.

SNC-Lavalin, which employs 9,000 people in Canada and tens of thousands abroad, is accused of bribing Libyan officials to get contracts between 2001 and 2011.
