The FBI arrested former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding in Mexico City, accusing him of leading a multibillion-dollar drug trafficking scheme linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. Wedding, also known as “El Jefe,” allegedly controlled an operation generating over $1bn annually in illegal drug proceeds and ordered multiple killings, including a witness set to testify against him. Authorities have arrested 36 individuals connected to Wedding’s organization and seized assets worth millions. Wedding is expected to appear in a US court on Monday to face charges of cocaine trafficking and murder.
