CANADAHALIFAX news Former Halifax cabbie convicted of sexual assault extradited back to Canada by admin 9 سبتمبر، 2024 written by admin 9 سبتمبر، 2024 102 CITYnews halifax / By Mark Hodgins A former Halifax taxi driver convicted of sexual assault has been brought back to Canada to serve out his sentence. In 2020, Bassam Al-Rawi was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in his Halifax-area apartment in 2012. “In 2022, Mr. Al-Rawi was released on bail while seeking leave to appeal his sexual assault conviction with the Supreme Court of Canada. His release order included strict conditions, which required him to reside in Ottawa with his surety,” said a release from the Public Prosecution Service of Nova Scotia. “However, in May 2022, authorities were made aware that Mr. Al-Rawi had breached his conditions and travelled to Montreal. He met his wife and one-year-old son and fled to Iraq.” The PPS says Al-Rawi was arrested in Italy on September 8, 2023, and he was extradited from Italy back to Canada on September 5 of this year. “The extradition process, which typically spans several years, was expedited in this case through the collaborative efforts of multiple international agencies,” PPS wrote. Al-Rawi was originally sentenced to two years in prison for the 2012 sexual assault. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Nova Scotia Power given $1.25-million fine for failing to meet performance standards next post استهداف مقر تابع لـ”المعارضة الإيرانية” في السويد You may also like Latest survey shows majority of votes would go... 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Chance of flurries this week in Halifax 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Canadian Union of Postal Workers issues 72-hour strike... 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Double-double trouble: N.S.
