flag Ontario lawyer Deepak Paradkar, 62, accused of helping fugitive Ryan Wedding run a drug trafficking operation linked to the Sinaloa cartel, has been granted $5.25 million bail ahead of a potential U.S. extradition hearing. flag Charged with advising on the murder of a federal witness and connecting Wedding to traffickers, Paradkar denies wrongdoing. flag Ontario Superior Court Justice Peter Bawden approved bail, citing his age, poor health, strong community ties, lack of criminal record, and the risk of harm in custody. flag His wife and her cousin will supervise him under strict conditions including 24/7 house arrest, GPS monitoring, and restricted device use. flag Prosecutors argued he faces life sentences and has incentives to flee, but the judge found the release plan sufficient to ensure compliance and public safety. flag The extradition hearing date remains undetermined.
