- Story Text: Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard will face an extradition hearing on Friday (October 1) for sex trafficking and racketeering charges in the United States.
Canadian police arrested Nygard in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in December at the U.S. government's request under the countries' extradition treaty.
U.S. authorities accuse Nygard of using his businesses to lure women and girls in the United States, Canada and the Bahamas since 1995 to sexually gratify himself and his associates.
Nygard has denied all allegations.
Born in Finland, Nygard grew up in Manitoba, eventually running his namesake clothing companies and becoming one of Canada's wealthiest people.
