Summary

Canadian fashion retail mogul Peter Nygard was arrested on Dec. 14 in Winnipeg, and is in custody facing extradition to the United States. He has been indicted for crimes related to sex trafficking and racketeering, following an extensive FBI investigation. CBC journalist Timothy Sawa has been investigating Nygard for almost a decade. Now, he hosts ‘Evil by Design’, an eight-part series that asks the key questions: who are the women and men who have stepped forward with accusations? Which systems failed them? And how did Peter Nygard get away with it for so long? ‘Evil by Design’ will be available on the CBC Listen App or wherever you get your podcasts, from January 28, 2021.
