Talal Fouani was on bail for organized crime and money laundering charges when he was shot while sitting in his parked Bentley outside his southwest Calgary home. Fouani's wife, Nakita Baron, 31, was killed. A Calgary man who pleaded guilty to money laundering 18 months ago but still hasn't been sentenced should see his charge tossed because it's taken too long to prosecute, his defence lawyer argued Wednesday.
"Unless you have authority to indicate otherwise, there is nothing requiring me to admit facts at the time I plead guilty," Niv wrote in an email to the Crown on March 15, 2023. However, if the judge finds there is unreasonable delay and the prosecution is "post-verdict," then there is either no remedy, or if he accepts the defence position, a reduction in sentence.Dunn argued that with no conviction, the presumption of innocence is still alive and the state of the case is pre-verdict.
