Applebaum operated a system of soliciting and collecting both legal and illegal campaign contributions for his party. In 2006, Applebaum trained his political aide Hugo Tremblay to collect funds for his 2009 campaign "warchest".

Applebaum would conspire with his aides, fellow councilors, and municipal officials to extort bribes and kick-backs from real estate promoters in exchange for zoning changes in his borough.{{cite news|title=Applebaum swapped cash for zoning changes, UPAC alleges|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/applebaum-swapped-cash-for-zoning-changes-upac-alleges-1.1895211|accessdate=12 November 2017|work=CBC News Montreal|date=3 October 2013}}
