    Am I reading this right… ?

    The DEA and 2 out of jurisdiction canadian law enforcement officers asked this person to help facilitate laundering money, and they had an agreement to help. They weren’t undercover, they were the DEA and police asking for help?

    And then he helps, and they want to extradite and prosecute him?

    “While there is a high public interest in seeing trafficking and exporting charges prosecuted, the behaviour of the DEA in this case is so shocking and flagrant that the justice system must distance itself from it. To allow the proceedings to continue would be to condone it.”

    To hear judges’ writings in filings with proper reasoning and sense that seems to be absent in many American court filings I’ve read, is very refreshing.

      I understand, but we have increasingly been seeing that sort of open speech in rulings in the US. Not enough, but more.

    Imagine what kinda of shit you have to be to think that you can just waltz into some other country as if it were your own.
