Overview
- The embassy released a video coordinated with the FBI and the governments of Canada and Mexico offering up to $15 million for information leading to Wedding’s arrest or conviction.
- Officials say Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, leads a violent transnational cocaine operation based in Mexico in alliance with the Sinaloa Cartel.
- The embassy says it believes he is hiding in Mexico, and he remains listed among the FBI’s ten most wanted fugitives.
- U.S. prosecutors have charged him with directing a criminal enterprise, murder, and cocaine‑distribution conspiracy, with added counts for witness intimidation and murder after a federal witness was killed in Medellín in 2024.
- Recent actions include the late‑November FBI seizure in Los Angeles of a rare Mercedes‑Benz CLK GTR linked to him, U.S. financial sanctions on him and affiliates, and a reward increase from $10 million to $15 million on November 19.
