Roberts was charged in 1999 with conspiring to smuggle B.C.
marijuana to the United States. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and
the RCMP worked together on the operation.

While Roberts, 54, faces charges in both countries, his case has
dragged through Canada's court system for three years.

But a week ago, Roberts flew to Europe. During his flight home, U.S.
authorities pulled him off a plane in the Netherlands to face
extradition to the U.S.

Jaroen Henekamp, with the prosecutors office in the Netherlands,
said his only way out could be Canadian intervention.
