Peter Nygard Case
A final decision on whether to render Peter Nygard to the United States to face racketeering and sex trafficking charges will be made this morning. Nygard was arrested in December under the Extradition Act and faces nine counts in the Southern District of New York. Authorities there accuse the 80-year-old of using his influence in the fashion industry to lure women and girls with the promise of modelling and other financial opportunities. The extradition request from the U.S. details accounts from seven alleged victims who are expected to testify in a criminal trial in that country. The decision lay in the hands of Justice Glenn Joyal and comes nine months after the former fashion mogul was first arrested in Winnipeg.
