Toronto jeweller Rolan Sokolovski seeks bail, accused of laundering drug money for fugitive snowboarder Ryan Wedding.
Rolan Sokolovski, a 37-year-old Toronto jeweller and former poker player, is seeking bail ahead of an extradition hearing over allegations he laundered hundreds of millions in drug money for Ryan Wedding, a fugitive former Team Canada snowboarder accused of leading a billion-dollar international drug trafficking ring.
Prosecutors claim Sokolovski was a central financial operator with access to hidden cryptocurrency and property, posing a flight risk, while his defense argues he is not a flight risk, citing past opportunities to flee—such as being questioned in Chicago and denied entry to the Bahamas—where he returned each time.
His legal team proposes strict release conditions, including house arrest with GPS monitoring and supervision by four sureties.
The hearing continues as Ontario Superior Court Justice Peter Bawden weighs the risks.
