Former Olympic Snowboarder Captured
Former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who had gained notoriety for being on the FBI’s most-wanted list, has been captured, according to law enforcement officials. His arrest took place on Friday in Mexico, as confirmed by two sources who requested to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation.
Details of the Arrest
The FBI intends to hold a press conference on Friday morning, where FBI Director Kash Patel is expected to provide more details about the case.
Allegations Against Wedding
Wedding is facing serious allegations, including drug trafficking and orchestrating the murders of federal witnesses to protect his illicit operations. Having represented Canada in the Olympics, he had significant attention drawn to him, particularly after the FBI placed him on their 10 Most Wanted list and announced a staggering $15 million reward for information that could lead to his arrest and prosecution.
FBI’s Ongoing Efforts
Just last month, the FBI had published a recent photograph of Wedding taken in Mexico during the summer, highlighting their active efforts to locate him.
