Canadian Officials and Peter G. Rogan

Peter G. Rogan: Peter G. Rogan, the disgraced former owner of Edgewater Hospital in Chicago, appeared before an Immigration and Refugee Board adjudicator in Vancouver on Monday, according to CTV. "One of the things to consider that would be in line with that allegation, would be to basically prevent Canada from being used as a safe haven by persons who are facing criminal proceedings in another country," Vasilekas told the hearing and - A former hospital CEO wanted in the United States for bilking the medicaid system out of tens of millions of dollars should be declared inadmissible to Canada and sent back to face trial, say immigration officials. Rogan was detained by Canada Border Services Agency on May 26, 2008, at Vancouver's airport as he returned from a business trip to China. Joanna Vasilekas, the Canadian border agent, seized his passport and ordered him detained because he posed a flight risk. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
