Toronto jeweller consents to extradition to U.S.
Rolan Sokolovski, a Toronto jeweller accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of acting as a "de facto bank" for an alleged drug trafficking ring led by a former Olympic snowboarder, formally consented to extradition in court. U.S. officials allege he laundered funds through his company, 2351885 Ontario Inc., known as Diamond Tsar, which has a downtown Toronto storefront. He has been in custody since his November 2025 arrest. The federal minister of justice must now issue a surrender order, and Sokolovski could be surrendered to U.S. authorities within 45 days of that order.
