Alleged B.C. phone scammer loses bid to stop extradition
September 25, 2009
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a B.C. man facing 20 fraud charges for allegedly bilking elderly Americans out of thousands of dollars with a lottery scam will be sent to the U.S. to face justice.
Henry Anekwu's, 42, of Vancouver, was ordered extradited in 2005. During that hearing, the RCMP had a single officer present a summary of the evidence against him, rather than subpoena witnesses.
Anekwu appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada where he argued that the RCMP shouldn't have been allowed to present evidence at his extradition hearing in summary form because it amounted to hearsay.
But on Thursday court ruled that the evidence was still valid.
