Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has been arrested in Winnipeg. Court records show Nygard, who is 79, was arrested under the Extradition Act and was to appear in a Winnipeg courtroom on Tuesday afternoon. Early this year US federal authorities raided Nygard's Manhattan headquarters, a search that came amid claims he trafficked and sexually assaulted dozens of teenage girls and women.
