Jeweler Accused in Global Drug Money Case | Montreal News
Description
A Toronto jeweller turned alleged money launderer, Rolan Sokolovski, faces a U.S. extradition hearing in December, accused of moving hundreds of millions for a criminal network led by former Olympian Ryan Wedding. Using aliases like Sushi and Applepie, Sokolovski allegedly operated as a “de facto bank,” buying luxury goods including a $13M Mercedes for Wedding, while also allegedly designing a murder reward necklace. The case, involving at least 34 indicted individuals, spans continents and includes a prostitution ring operator and a crime blogger linked to a murder. While Wedding is already in custody in Mexico, others resist extradition, highlighting the global, complex nature of this sophisticated drug and money-laundering operation — though authorities stress no direct ties to known gangs like the Bishnoi.
