The wife of an Ontario lawyer allegedly involved in a transnational drug smuggling ring told his bail hearing Thursday she never saw her husband receive luxurious gifts or suspicious amounts of cash from clients in their decades together. Federal prosecutors asked Mandy Paradkar about the couple’s finances, assets and work as she continued her testimony in a Toronto courtroom. The retired accountant and paralegal is proposing to act as one of her husband’s sureties if he is granted bail.Her husband, Deepak Paradkar, is one of eight Canadians arrested on extradition warrants last month in connection with an FBI operation targeting Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder allegedly turned drug kingpin.U.S. officials allege Deepak Paradkar, 62, advised Wedding on the murder of a federal witness, introduced the former athlete to drug traffickers who moved product through North America and paid other lawyers to provide information helpful to the criminal organization.They further allege the lawyer — who they say was also known under the name “cocaine_lawyer” for his previous social media handle — was paid with bulk cash drops and luxury items such as watches.Related:FBI releases new photo of Canadian fugitive and former Olympian Ryan WeddingUnder cross-examination by the Crown on Thursday, his wife said that while it’s not uncommon for clients to pay lawyers in cash, none of the amounts received by her husband raised any concerns, nor did she ever see him get any gifts from clients aside from alcohol or chocolates.Her husband never mentioned receiving any such items either, Mandy Paradkar said.“As far as you’re concerned, all the gifts that he’s generously provided you and your daughters and the trips and the cars, they all come, in your mind, from his private (law) practice,” federal prosecutor Milica Potrebic suggested.“That’s correct,” Paradkar replied. Court heard the couple own several properties, including a home assessed at roughly $5 million and a cottage, lease four luxury cars and took multiple trips costing tens of thousands of dollars in recent years.They received an insurance settlement of about $700,000 earlier this year after a break-in in which designer bags, shoes and suits were stolen, along with jewelry and watches, court heard.Prosecutors asked Paradkar whether the allegations, which she said she first heard at the time of her husband’s arrest, had shaken her trust in him and their bond.“No,” she answered. “I believe in him and I believe in his innocence.”On Wednesday, Deepak Paradkar made his pitch to be released on bail until his extradition hearing, proposing to place himself under conditions that include round-the-clock house arrest and GPS monitoring, as well as a joint pledge of $5 million with his wife.His other surety, his wife’s cousin, is offering to put up $250,000, court heard.Last week, the law society’s disciplinary tribunal temporarily suspended Paradkar’s licence to practise.
