Back in January, former Abbotsford resident Robert Schellenberg told a court in China that the man behind an international drug ring that he got caught in was Khamla Wong. Wong, of course, has a long history in B.C. and is wanted here for his alleged role in another drug conspiracy. I also learned that he was linked to Blair Stephens, charged in Thailand in January.International fugitive linked to B.C. men charged in China and Thailand KIM BOLAN Updated: March 27, 2019 Two B.C.
Critics charged the death penalty was being used to retaliate against Canada after the Vancouver arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who the U.S. wants extradited on fraud-related charges. Wong was arrested in Thailand in 2016 on drug-trafficking charges. He was mysteriously released some time later without explanation.
He was charged in 2012 after a lengthy investigation by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit in B.C. “It’s unfortunate that a guy who is on the run from North American authorities with Interpol warrants out for him, who at one time in the last few years was in custody of a police agency, continues to evade us and multiple jurisdictions who want to try him,” Houghton said.
Former UN gang members who testified at two recent B.C. gang trials described Wong as a “respected elder” closely aligned with, but not a member of, their gang. The 53-page indictment alleges Wong, who changed his name from Khamla Siharaj, was one of the purchasers of bulk cocaine, which would be delivered to him in Canada from California.
