Corrupt Government Officials: Immigration And Refugee Board

Immigration And Refugee Dept: Lai Changxing was ordered released from custody Tuesday, after board members ruled that he is not a flight risk. The businessman, nicknamed "Mr. Big," is scheduled for a hearing on July 21 that could decide whether he will be deported, according to CTV. Lai was arrested by border officers late last week as the possibility of his removal drew near, but the Federal Court of Canada granted a temporary stay on Monday blocking his immediate deportation. He is being held at North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam pending his release and one of China's most wanted men will be set free in Vancouver until a hearing later this month that could end with his deportation, the Immigration and Refugee Board has ruled. For 12 years, Lai has fought his return to China to face allegations he masterminded a network that smuggled as much as $10 billion of goods with the protection of corrupt government officials who he plied with cash, prostitutes and booze. As reported in the news.
