Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder and Canadian national, is under intense investigation by U.S. and Canadian authorities for allegedly running a major international drug trafficking organization linked to the Sinaloa cartel. The FBI and Department of Justice have unveiled new charges including drug trafficking, murder, witness tampering, and money laundering, with Wedding now on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. Authorities believe he is hiding in Mexico. Wedding is accused of orchestrating the smuggling of six metric tons of cocaine annually from Colombia through Mexico into the U.S. and Canada, and of ordering the murder of witnesses, including a Colombian witness and a Canadian couple mistakenly targeted in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment. Over 35 individuals have been indicted, with at least a dozen arrests made across the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, and Canada. The case has resulted in multiple deaths, including a man in Colombia and a Canadian couple in Ontario. U.S. officials have increased the reward for information leading to Wedding’s arrest from $10 million to $15 million. The authorities compare Wedding to notorious drug lords like Pablo Escobar and El Chapo, emphasizing his role in engineering a narco-terrorism program and his involvement in violent acts to maintain his drug empire.
