Accused of distributing hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of fentanyl precursor chemicals, Ge Wang claimed the Tesla he used was normally for the transportation of an autistic child.
The B.C. Court of Appeal has dismissed an application from two individuals to have their assets returned from the Director of Civil Forfeiture following a drug investigation.
The items were seized by RCMP and forfeited to the director via a claim in B.C. Supreme Court after Wang was allegedly caught distributing precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl, in March 2022. Wang is said to have used a Tesla and BMW vehicle for transporting the chemicals on four occasions while Sari also made a delivery, with each sale ranging from $3,000 to $220,000, according to the decision.
In order to take the items for forfeiture, the director must demonstrate to a judge there is first, a serious question to be tried and second, whether the items seized are instruments or proceeds of crime. This is a civil proceeding and the threshold for a judge to grant forfeiture is low.
