  • Son Of Former BC MLA, Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana, Charged In Fentanyl Bust Makes Court Appearance
CALGARY — The son of a former British Columbia MLA charged in a fentanyl bust in Calgary has made a brief court appearance.
 
Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana, who is  27, is charged with one count of importing a controlled substance and will remain in custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 16.
 
The Calgary man's lawyer is working on setting a date for a bail hearing.
 
Police intercepted a package marked as a muffler from China last month at Vancouver's International Mail Centre.
 
It was addressed to someone in Calgary and contained 122 grams of pure fentanyl, a synthetic opioid used primarily to treat severe pain.
 
Judi Tyabji was the youngest MLA in the B.C. legislature when she was elected in 1991 and went on to become the first woman to have a child while in office.
