McNabb in the News

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been mentioned in three Canadian Press articles today.

The first:

…U.S. authorities need to move quickly to lay charges against Black to get a potentially lengthy case started, said Douglas McNabb, senior principal at McNabb Associates….

McNabb said he's heard rumours that U.S. authorities could announce charges within a week.

…

There's little reason to see why Britain would prevent Black's extradition, McNabb said, since in 2003 the country changed its own extradition laws allowing the U.S. to extradite people as long as they could prove charges were pending.^[1]

The second and third are substantially the same:

…U.S. authorities need to get the potentially lengthy case started quickly, said Douglas McNabb, senior principal at McNabb Associates….

"The U.S. cannot seek Mr. Black's extradition until after he has been charged," said McNabb, adding he's heard rumours U.S. authorities could announce charges within a week.

…

Even if charged and facing extradition, Black has several legal and appeal options that could drag out the extradition case for a few years at least, McNabb said.

"He's not a terrorist, he's a white collar guy, and he's got money and he's prepared to fight it," McNabb said from Houston.

Black, who gave up his Canadian citizenship a few years ago in a dispute with former prime minister Jean Chretien over a British peerage, could face years of prison time, "absolutely, without doubt if he's convicted," McNabb said.^[2]
