A Winnipeg man is being extradited to the United States on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, after U.S. authorities accused him of defrauding a COVID‑19 relief program and laundering the proceeds.
U.S. officials say the alleged scheme involved misusing pandemic assistance funds worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and is part of a federal investigation into the misuse of emergency relief money distributed during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
