Potential sureties for Ryan Wedding’s alleged money launderer questioned on his lavish lifestyle

Two proposed sureties for a jeweller accused in the United States of laundering money for an allegedly violent, international cocaine smuggling ring told a Toronto court on Wednesday that they were unaware of how he paid for what prosecutors described as his affluent lifestyle.

Rolan Sokolovski, 37, has been in jail since November, facing extradition to the United States on charges he helped launder hundreds of millions of dollars for a drug-trafficking network allegedly run by former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding. He’s among eight people in Canada charged in connection to their alleged ties to Mr. Wedding, including Toronto-area lawyer Deepak Paradkar, who is accused of advising the organization on the killing of a police informant.

What to make of a United States which threatens the sovereign territory of an allied democracy? Which invades another country to snatch its head of state and then makes the rest of the regime “an offer it can’t refuse” with respect to its oil resources? Where the head of the central bank is subjected to a sham criminal investigation for refusing to let the head of state interfere where the law forbids it? Or in which gangs of masked government thugs roam the streets, picking up anyone they wish and consigning them, with seemingly no due process, to a semi-legal hell on earth—and even...
