It appears, Peter Nygard, the now-disgraced former fashion icon will be spending his final stint in Canada at Headingley Correctional Centre, west of Winnipeg–the town where he grew up and began the business that eventually won him world-wide notoriety.
The 79-year-old Nygard has been behind bars since mid-December when he was arrested in Winnipeg at the request by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which wants him extradited.
He faces nine charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking for crimes that took place over 25 years and involved dozens of victims–including some who were underage–in the U.S., Canada and the Bahamas.
WINNIPEG Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard will remain behind bars while he awaits an extradition hearing after a Manitoba judge denied him bail Friday morning. Nygard, 79, has been in custody since mid-December after he was arrested under the Extradition Act. U.S. authorities have charged the former fashion executive with nine counts, including sex trafficking. None of the charges have been proven in court and Nygard is presumed innocent. On Friday, Queen’s Bench Justice Shawn Greenberg read her decision in the bail hearing for Nygard, saying she was satisfied he is a flight risk. The issue is whether the bail plan mitigates the risk, she said, ultimately deciding it did not.
