"According to U.S. prosecutors, Singh and his uncle co-ordinated at least two shipments, totalling more than 650 kilograms of cocaine, from California to Canada for Wedding's network. The pair purportedly agreed to move the drugs for a rate of $220,000 per truck load, in a meeting held at a Brampton, Ont., auto body shop and secretly recorded by an FBI informant who was later shot dead in Colombia."
"Singh has been held at Toronto South Detention Centre since his arrest. He's currently fighting extradition to California, where he's wanted to stand trial in connection with Wedding's suspected drug-trafficking conspiracy."
"CBC News has spoken with two sources who say Singh is connected to Project South. However, Singh is not accused of any wrongdoing nor is he facing any criminal charges in connection with Project South."
Brian Da Costa, an alleged drug trafficker accused of bribing Toronto police officers in Project South, has been ordered to avoid contact with 36 individuals including Gurpreet Singh. Singh was arrested in October 2024 as an alleged accomplice in Ryan Wedding's drug-smuggling organization. U.S. prosecutors allege Singh and his uncle coordinated at least two cocaine shipments totaling over 650 kilograms from California to Canada, negotiating $220,000 per truckload. Singh remains detained at Toronto South Detention Centre while fighting extradition to California. Although sources connect Singh to Project South, he faces no charges related to the police corruption investigation and is only charged in the United States.
