An Ontario man accused of laundering funds for an international drug smuggling operation is taking the stand in a Toronto courtroom as he makes his bid for release ahead of his extradition hearing.

Rolan Sokolovski was arrested last fall along with several other Canadians accused of working with former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, an alleged drug kingpin listed as one of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation’s most wanted.
