A man accused of helping with the escape of a gangland killer from a British Columbia correctional facility in 2022 is back in Canada after being arrested in Spain four months ago.
A statement from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. says Spanish authorities handed John Potvin over to Canadian investigators on Thursday and he was extradited back to Canada.
