Witness testifies

Arsalan Chaudhary, a suspect in the 2023 Pearson International Airport gold heist, admitted to being a mastermind of one of the biggest gold heists in history.

Memory loss concerns

Chaudhary reported low-energy testimony, little memory, and complaints of feeling triggered by questions during court.

Crown prosecutor questions

Crown prosecutor Jelena Vlacic asked Chaudhary if his reticence was more about prison culture than mental health.

Snitching on fugitive

Chaudhary agreed he snitched on Simran Preet Panesar, a fugitive co-accused living in India, but not on Parmpal Sidhu, the current defendant.

Prison snitching perspective

Chaudhary said snitching doesn't matter where the person is, as people in jail don't differentiate between snitches.

“When you’re in jail and when you snitch on somebody, it doesn’t matter where they are. If snitching is a snitch, it doesn’t make a difference.”

What Chaudhary admits

Chaudhary admitted he has an opinion on snitching, saying it's positive in prison despite his earlier claims of having no opinion.

“I have no comment, ma’am.”
