62-year-old Guramrit Sidhu, a Canadian man who was extradited to the US on charges of drug trafficking between the two countries, pleaded guilty to leading a criminal organization that trafficked hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine and cocaine worth up to $17 million. And it took roughly a month for that trafficking, Sidhu has now admitted. He has been in federal custody since October 2024 after being extradited from Canada.
According to his plea agreement, from September 2020 to February 2023, Sidhu led an organization responsible for trafficking drugs from the US into Canada for distribution. From September 13, 2022, to October 24, 2022, Sidhu orchestrated the distribution of eight separate drug loads, totaling approximately 523 kilograms (1,153 pounds) of methamphetamine and 347 kilograms (765 pounds) of cocaine, which law enforcement seized. These drug loads had an estimated wholesale value of approximately $15 million to $17 million, the court documents said.
