I was fascinated by this piece in the Vancouver Sun about Saxena...the guy's obviously slimy, but you gotta admire somebody with the balls to plot an African military coup from a jail cell.
VANCOUVER — After more than 13 years fighting extradition while holed up in Vancouver, financial fugitive Rakesh Saxena is finally on his way back to Bangkok.
The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday cleared the runway for Saxena to be returned to Thailand, officially ending the longest extradition case in Canadian history.
The court announced it was denying Saxena’s request to appeal an earlier extradition order. As usually happens in such cases, the court gave no reasons.
On Wednesday, before the decision was announced, Saxena turned himself over to RCMP, as per the terms of his house arrest in Richmond. He spent the night at the North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre.
