Canada Border Services Agency: Interpol

Rustem Tursunbayev Dept: Rustem Tursunbayev, 49, was detained by Toronto police and the Canada Border Services Agency on Feb. 10 after Interpol issued a red notice which seeks an arrest for future extradition on behalf of Kazakhstan in July 2011. Tursunbayev had been living in a King City mansion with his wife and two children since 2009, according to The Star. We decided that we couldn t proceed until we knew how serious the condition was, he said. We can t really set a date until we know what the prognosis is. A former vice president of a Kazakh nuclear company accused of embezzling roughly $20 million from his government suffered a possible heart attack at Toronto West Detention Centre Tuesday, one day before he was to appear before a detention review. The hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board is postponed indefinitely, said Tursunbayev s lawyer, Lorne Waldman. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
