Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Authorities in Canada have arrested an associate of a former Olympian snowboarder accused by the United States of being a drug kingpin on the FBI's Most Wanted list.
The FBI confirmed on X that Rasheed Pascua Hossain, 32, was arrested in Vancouver by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canada's federal law enforcement agency. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Hossain was detained Friday.
On Wednesday, U.S. federal authorities announced at a press conference that they were intensifying their manhunt for Ryan Wedding, 44, whom FBI Director Kash Patel called a "modern-day iteration" of Pablo Escobar and Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, two of the most infamous drug cartel leaders.
Wedding is believed to be in Mexico, receiving protection from the Sinaloa Cartel.
