Canadian officials want accused U.S. fraudster declared inadmissible
VANCOUVER – Canadian border authorities want a former U.S. hospital CEO being sought in connection to a multimillion-dollar fraud declared inadmissible to Canada and sent back to the country where he faces trial.
A hearing is underway before the Immigration and Refugee board in Vancouver for Peter G. Rogan, the disgraced former owner of the Edgewater Hospital near Chicago.
In 2006, the U.S. Government won a $62-million judgment against Rogan related to fraudulent claims for health-care services.
He was later charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.
Rogan came to Vancouver in 2006 and has applied for permanent residency.
He was detained by the Canada Border Services Agency on May 26, 2008, as he returned to Vancouver from a trip to China.
The agency says Rogan is criminally inadmissible to Canada.
