Tonnington's post about Canada's dragging its feet over Mr. Abdelrazik has promted me to mention its policies and actions on extraditions and the like again.
Not very much has changed concerning the CIC et al in decades and it's absolutely inane. Canada is a very popular place for white-collar criminals from out-of-country. And on the other hand, Canada makes it hard for Canadian conartists to skip the country. So it seems that our gov'ts prefer to keep white-collar criminals here and most, even if charged, are let out on bail to continue hatching scams n whatnot.
White-collar criminals can be investigated and charged, but it takes years long investigations in Canada. And by the time the charges are filed, the criminal has acquired a top-shelf shyster to get him/her off or get charges reduced.

A good country for crooks: Canada's losing war against white-collar crime | Managing | Strategy | Canadian Business Online .... and I think most of us have learned a little concerning Conrad Black.
One person from Bangkok has been in Canada for 12 freakin years fighting extradition back to Thailand. Another has been fighting extradition to China for 10 years.
I'd make a bet, also, that when someone is actually convicted and jailed, they spend a couple years of the 5 year sentence, and then are released to enjoy the millions they've scammed.
