"Brampton criminal lawyer Deepak Paradkar is one of seven Canadians arrested in connection with alleged drug lord Ryan Wedding's criminal enterprise and the death of an FBI witness. Paradkar who as recently as a week ago appears to have still been actively responding to Google reviews for his legal practice was arrested by the RCMP on Tuesday after a little bit of resistance, said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi at a news conference Wednesday."
"Paradkar also referenced in the U.S. indictment as the cocaine_lawyer based on his former social media handle is facing allegations of advising Wedding and his second-in-command, Andrew Clark, to murder an FBI witness to avoid extradition from Mexico in another criminal case. Wedding, an ex-Canadian Olympian from Thunder Bay, Ont., is listed as one of the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives. He is accused, according to the indictment, of offering a multi-million-dollar bounty for the death of an FBI witness, who was gunned down in Medellin, Colombia"
