Trudeau defends government actions as questions swirl around Iranian businessmen indicted in U.S.
In October 2022, the government announced it would be spending $76 million to help enforce sanctions on Iran. Some of the money was earmarked for an additional 30 staff members at the RCMP. But the national police force confirmed it's still working with the Department of Finance on receiving the funds.
It's not clear if the U.S. has asked Canada to extradite one or all of the three men, since the process is confidential unless it goes to court. There are no extradition proceedings tied to the men in court right now. "[It] has to be a crime in Canada for us to extradite," said Nesbitt. "So we're not going to extradite a Canadian for something that we would never recognize as a crime."
Department spokesperson Ian McLeod said the department wouldn't comment "as it would be inappropriate to speculate about the potential for dual criminality in a specific case."
