Businessman could face extradition to US over cancer drug smuggling
xCruzo Brief
Sukhi Ghuman, 48, and his ex-wife Kiranjit Ghuman, 48, could face extradition to the United States over allegations tied to cancer drug smuggling. Prosecutors say the pair defrauded U.S. health programmes, including Medicare, by telling federal insurers they provided approved cancer drugs while instead supplying cheaper, non-approved medicines and allegedly profiting from the price gap. A warrant for their arrest was issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in October 2023. The extradition hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court is scheduled to last five days, after an alleged scheme spanning September 2019 to April 2023. Investigators also allege some drugs were outdated.
