WINNIPEG — The Manitoba Court of Appeal has dismissed Peter Nygard’s application for a judicial review of an order to extradite the former fashion mogul to the United States, where he faces sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The panel of three judges says there is no reason to interfere with the 2022 surrender order that the justice minister at the time, David Lametti, made under the Extradition Act.
Nygard’s lawyers wanted Lametti to ensure their client would not be housed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, where they said conditions were terrible. The Appeal Court says Lametti provided detailed and careful reasons in response to Nygard’s concerns and his surrender order was justified. Nygard, the founder of a now-defunct woman’s fashion company, faces similar allegations in Canada. The extradition order means he is to be sent to the U.S. once his Canadian court cases are settled.
