Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard is set to be extradited to the United States to faces sex-related charges there, but only once his criminal case in Canada has been completed.

Federal Justice Minister David Lametti says he issued an order to that effect today, adding it’s important that the Canadian legal process run its course so that all parties have the chance to see justice served.
