New Brunswick Man Who Smuggled Narwhal Tusks Loses Appeal Of Extradition

The Canadian Press, 02 Oct, 2015 10:45 AM
    FREDERICTON — A New Brunswick man who was convicted two years ago for illegally smuggling about 250 narwhal tusks into the United States has lost an appeal of an extradition order to the U.S.
     
    Gregory Logan of Woodman's Point was convicted in a New Brunswick court in 2013, fined $385,000 and given an eight-month conditional sentence to be served in the community.
     
    A year earlier, Logan was indicted in Maine on charges brought by American officials relating to unlawful importation and money laundering, and the United States sought his extradition, which was granted.
     
    Logan appealed the order surrendering him to the United States and also sought a judicial review of the justice minister's order.
     
    However in decisions rendered Thursday, the Court of Appeal dismissed both requests.
     
    The court has ordered that Logan surrender himself to authorities within three days.
