<strong>Canadian</strong> accused of hacking<br />
Yahoo pleads not guilty<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> Press<br />
SAN FRANCISCO: A lawyer<br />
of a <strong>Canadian</strong> man accused<br />
in a massive hack of<br />
Yahoo emails says his client<br />
has pleaded not guilty<br />
to all charges against him<br />
in a San Francisco courtroom<br />
on Wednesday.<br />
Karim Baratov was<br />
arrested in Hamilton in<br />
March under the Extradition<br />
Act after U.S. authorities<br />
indicted him and<br />
three others for computer<br />
hacking, economic espionage<br />
and other crimes.<br />
Baratov's U.S.-based<br />
lawyer, Andrew Mancilla,<br />
says his next court appearance<br />
will be Tuesday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> Press<br />
Toronto man arrested for<br />
trying to carry gun on flight<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Parvasi</strong><br />
Last week, the 22-yearold<br />
decided to forgo his extradition<br />
hearing and face<br />
the charges in the United<br />
States in what his <strong>Canadian</strong><br />
lawyer has called an<br />
effort to speed up the legal<br />
process.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hamilton man<br />
signed documents agreeing<br />
to waive the hearing<br />
before an Ontario judge<br />
on Friday, after weighing<br />
the decision for months.<br />
Baratov has been held<br />
without bail since his arrest<br />
because an Ontario<br />
Superior Court judge<br />
ruled that he was too<br />
much of a flight risk to be<br />
released prior to an extradition<br />
hearing.<br />
TORONTO: A Toronto man has been charged with trying<br />
to carry a semi-automatic handgun on board a flight<br />
from Winnipeg to Toronto.<br />
<strong>The</strong> handgun was seized on Tuesday when Mohammad<br />
Peyawary, 35, from Toronto tried to board a Torontobound<br />
flight from the James Armstrong Richardson International<br />
Airport<br />
in Winnipeg.<br />
<strong>The</strong> gun was<br />
found in his carry-on<br />
bag. Police<br />
said there was no<br />
threat to the public<br />
as the gun was unloaded<br />
and the man carried no ammunition. Mohammad<br />
Peyawary has been charged with unlawful transport of<br />
an unsecured restricted firearm and carrying a concealed<br />
weapon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> arrest assumes significance as Peyawary’s 29-<br />
year-old brother Mustafa Peyawary was found dead inside<br />
a Winnipeg apartment on August 13.<br />
According to Winnipeg police, Mustafa suffered beatings<br />
over a long period and died from blunt force trauma.<br />
Two persons have been arrested in the case.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judge also found<br />
that Baratov's parents<br />
would not make appropriate<br />
sureties since they<br />
had not been suspicious<br />
of their son's alleged activities<br />
while he lived under<br />
their roof.<br />
Random shooting in<br />
Brampton hits cars,<br />
injures woman<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Parvasi</strong><br />
American authorities<br />
alleged in court documents<br />
that Baratov, who<br />
was born in Kazakhstan,<br />
posed an "extremely high<br />
flight risk'' in part due to<br />
his alleged ties to Russian<br />
intelligence agents and<br />
his financial resources.<br />
He appealed the ruling<br />
that denied him bail but it<br />
was upheld in June.<br />
Yahoo said last September<br />
that information<br />
from at least 500 million<br />
user accounts had been<br />
stolen in a cyberattack<br />
two years earlier. Baratov<br />
is accused of hacking 80<br />
Yahoo accounts and faces<br />
20 years in prison in the<br />
U.S. if convicted.<br />
Canada's minister Judy<br />
Foote stepping down<br />
OTTAWA: Judy Foote is announcing<br />
her resignation from the federal<br />
cabinet and plans to step down as a<br />
Liberal MP.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Newfoundland and Labrador<br />
MP has been on an indefinite leave of<br />
absence from the Public Works and<br />
Government Services Department<br />
since April due to family health issues.<br />
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is<br />
not expected to immediately name a<br />
replacement for Foote, whose portfolio<br />
has been overseen on an interim<br />
basis by Natural Resources Minister<br />
Jim Carr.<br />
But insiders say the portfolio —<br />
which involves resolving the fiasco<br />
over the Phoenix pay system — will<br />
go to an experienced minister, necessitating<br />
a small shuffle of the<br />
current cabinet lineup.<br />
Trudeau is also expected to<br />
award rookie Liberal MP Seamus<br />
O'Regan with a junior cabinet post<br />
in order to ensure Newfoundland<br />
and Labrador retains its representation<br />
around the cabinet table.<br />
BRAMPTON: A 39 year-old woman suffered minor injuries<br />
and several parked vehicles were damaged in random<br />
gunshots in the area of Chamney Court and Kennedy<br />
Road<br />
in Brampton<br />
on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
T h e<br />
i n c i d e n t<br />
happened<br />
at about<br />
6.45 pm on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
Peel Regional Police rushed to the spot after receiving<br />
many calls from scared residents about the sound of<br />
gunshots in their area.<br />
No arrests have been made so far. Investigators<br />
from the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau are<br />
appealing for any witnesses to the incident or who may<br />
have video surveillance, dashboard video, or who may<br />
have information regarding the incident.
