Gurpreet Singh, an alleged accomplice of fugitive Ryan Wedding, has been denied bail by the Ontario Superior Court due to significant concerns about his potential flight risk. Singh is accused of coordinating cocaine shipments from California and is facing extradition to the U.S. for drug charges. Justice Michael Dineen highlighted Singh's potential for escape, noting uncertain financial circumstances and possible links to international criminal networks. The defense's proposed strict house arrest was deemed insufficient to mitigate these risks, particularly given Singh's alleged financial ties to criminal activities.
Justice Michael Dineen emphasized that Gurpreet Singh has a strong incentive to flee to avoid a potential 20-year sentence, indicating significant flight risk due to alleged connections to international crime.
The court remains unaware of Singh's financial capability to escape, raising concerns about concealed illegal income that may facilitate his fleeing if motivated.
