A 31-year-old Indian-origin former Air Canada manager, Simran Preet Panesar, has been implicated in a massive gold and cash heist worth CAD 22.5 million. The incident, which occurred on April 17 last year, involved the theft of a cargo container holding gold bars and foreign currency from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. The stolen cargo consisted of 6,600 bars of 99.99% pure gold, weighing 400 kilograms, along with an additional 2.5 million Canadian dollars in foreign currency.
Panesar, confident in the Canadian justice system, has decided to voluntarily surrender in the coming weeks to clear his name. His lawyer, Greg Lafontaine, emphasized Panesar’s belief in his innocence and readiness to face the charges. Lafontaine stated, “When this prosecution is over, he will have been absolved of any wrongdoing.” Panesar’s location remains undisclosed for safety reasons as he prepares to return to Canada.
Several arrests have been made in connection with the heist, including Indian-origin individuals. Simran Preet Panesar’s decision to surrender underscores his commitment to resolving the case and seeking justice.
Uncertainties Remain
The lack of information surrounding the case raises several questions:
- What specific allegations is the manager facing?
- In what jurisdiction will they surrender?
- What consequences will they face?
