Nathan Jacobson: RCMP

Canadian Cabinet Ministers Dept: Jacobson, who was at one time close to senior Canadian cabinet ministers, has been a fugitive from U.S. justice since July 30, when he failed to appear in a San Diego courtroom for sentencing for money-laundering. An arrest warrant was issued for him at that time, according to Vancouver Sun. Jacobson spent a week detained, before a federal Crown attorney and his lawyer reached an agreement to release him on $600,000 bail Wednesday and oTTAWA American authorities expressed extreme frustration and confusion over the failure of RCMP to act on the extradition of fugitive businessman Nathan Jacobson, says a private detective who says he was hired to track Jacobson down. Canadian authorities didn t act until last week, when the Americans requested a provisional warrant, which Justice Minister Rob Nicholson signed. Toronto police, working with the U.S. Marshal Service, picked Jacobson up at his Toronto downtown home. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
