An accused extremist recruiter is returning to the Ontario Superior Court on Thursday and is expected to plead guilty to terrorism offences, eight years after he was first charged.
Awso Peshdary's criminal trial had been on hold pending a decision in Federal Court, where his lawyers were arguing that charges should be dropped because Canada's spy agency was authorized to surveil him based on misleading information.
They say their client is now prepared to plead guilty, and the defence is submitting a joint application with the Crown to proceed directly to sentencing.
