B.C. Appeal Court upholds extradition for men facing drug trial in California
VANCOUVER – Four men have lost their fight in the B.C. Court of Appeal for a judicial review of their extradition to California.
The court says Darrell Romano, Ivan Djuracic, Aaron Anderson and Jamie Nenasheff can be sent to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.
The court says it is alleged marijuana was hidden in hollowed-out logs that were shipped from a workshop in Armstrong, B.C., to what appeared to be a log-home businesses in Ontario, Calif.
The court says three others are being extradited to the United States, but Romano, Djuracic, Anderson and Nenasheff appealed to the immigration minister to set aside the extradition order on several grounds, including the potential violation of their charter rights should a harsher sentence be imposed in the U.S.
