Ryan Wedding

Ryan Wedding, a 44-year-old former Canadian Olympic snowboarder who competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics, has been arrested in Mexico after years on the run. He is accused of leading a multibillion-dollar drug trafficking operation and is considered by authorities to have been one of the FBI's top fugitives. Wedding faces 17 felony charges, including drug trafficking, conspiracy to commit murder, witness tampering, and money laundering. He is alleged to have orchestrated several killings to further his criminal enterprise. Recently extradited to the US, Wedding appeared in a California court and pleaded not guilty to all charges. The case is significant due to the scale of the alleged drug operation and the involvement of a former Olympic athlete.
