An Ontario lawyer accused of advising former Canadian Olympian-turned-alleged cocaine trafficker Ryan Wedding on the murder of a federal witness has been granted bail ahead of his extradition hearing.
Deepak Paradkar, 62, of Thornhill, Ont., was granted bail in a Toronto courtroom on Dec. 23 after being arrested last month for extradition to the United States as part of an investigation targeting Wedding, who tops the FBI’s most wanted list.
