Wolfgang Benedict Fitznar may have been on the run in Mexico as a convicted ringleader in B.C.'s biggest hashish bust — but he was by no means in hiding. The veteran tugboat captain, who'd lived in Bella Coola and Tsawwassen, enjoyed a very public life in the colonial town of Mérida for years after he fled Canada in late 2003 to escape a five-year sentence for his role in the global smuggling operation. A total of 14 people were convicted in the seizure of about 12 tonnes of hashish, worth almost $50 million, on Vancouver Island in November 1998. The tropical state of Yucatán — a haven for Canadian and American tourists — seemed to suit Fitznar. He set himself up as a real-estate consultant."
