U.S. law enforcement leaders on Wednesday, Nov. 19 announced the indictment of a former Olympic snowboarder on murder and money laundering charges in connection to alleged drug trafficking into the United States.
Ryan James Wedding, 44, is wanted by the FBI in connection to a "transnational criminal enterprise," Attorney General Pam Bondi announced, calling the Canadian national a top threat to the United States and "one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizers in the world."
Alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi made the joint announcement at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington D.C. after the government unsealed an indictment against Wedding, charging him with witness intimidation, murder, and money laundering.
A former Olympic snowboarder, Wedding is on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for what Bondi called a murderous international drug trafficking operation.
A $15 million reward is being offered by the FBI for his capture.
