FBI Seizes $13 Million Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster in Ryan Wedding Investigation

The asset was taken under Operation Giant Slalom targeting the fugitive former Olympian’s alleged trafficking network.

Overview

  • Investigators say the 2002 roadster is one of only six built, within an estimated 28-car CLK GTR production run.
  • U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has described Wedding as controlling a prolific and violent drug-trafficking organization.
  • Wedding is believed to be in Mexico and appears on the FBI’s Most Wanted list with a $15 million reward for information.
  • Authorities report that ten defendants were arrested across multiple countries last week as part of related enforcement actions.
  • Officials say the car could be sold under federal supervision if it is forfeited through the courts following any conviction.
