Kinahan Cartel member claims girlfriend funded Dubai trips
Gurpreet Singh, a member of the Kinahan Cartel, claimed in a Canadian court that his trips to Dubai were funded by his girlfriend. He is seeking bail after being charged with cocaine smuggling. Singh's alleged boss, Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder, is wanted by the FBI for running a violent drug trafficking ring. Wedding is believed to be hiding in Mexico, and U.S. authorities have offered a $10 million reward for his capture. The U.S. government opposes Singh's bail, citing his connections to organized crime and the risk of flight. Singh's lawyer denied the allegations, claiming there is no evidence linking him to the cartel beyond his uncle, Hardeep Ratte.
