The fate of Aldrin John Manalaysay Pascua, found guilty of multiple offences related to a Regina gun trafficking operation, now rests in the hands of a judge.
Following a trial that began in February, Pascua was found guilty of conspiracy to traffic firearms, trafficking firearms, possession of firearms for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of a firearm with readily accessible ammunition.
Between November 2018 and October 2021, Mr. Pascua participated in a scheme to acquire, possess, and transfer both restricted and non-restricted firearms through straw purchases.
The court's decision is pending, with the Crown seeking an eight-year sentence for Pascua.
