Why is it every time one of Stephen Harpers good friends is arrested and found guilty that he claims he knew nothing about it???
U.S. District Judge Irma Gonzalez issued a warrant for his arrest, and authorities believed he was hiding in Canada.
Jacobson was arrested by the Toronto Police Fugitive Squad at his Toronto condominium, not long after a photo of him posing with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at an Ottawa reception started circulating online.
Staff at the Prime Minister’s Office said Harper knew nothing of the charges against Jacobson at the time the photo was taken.
Jacobson has long boasted of having friends in high places, and has taken credit for introducing then-Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to Netanyahu. He also boasted to an Israeli journalist in 2009 of having close connections to Harper.
“He said, ‘I have a great relationship with Stephen Harper,’” Amir Kurz told CTV News, adding that Jacobson told him that he “creates relationships between Israel and Canada.”
Between 2004 and 2011, Jacobson also reportedly gave about $10,000 to the Conservative Party. The party did not respond to a question from CTV asking if it would rescind the donation.
When asked by CTV News Wednesday whether his deportation will affect his place in Canadian high society, Jacobson replied: “I think everything will be fine.”
