Overview
- Mexican authorities searched four properties in Mexico City and the State of Mexico, seizing 62 high‑end motorcycles, two vehicles, two Olympic medals, drugs, ammunition, artwork and documents.
- The operations were carried out by the Mexican Navy, the National Guard and federal agents from the attorney general’s office, according to the security secretariat.
- Officials did not name the target but described a former Olympian on the U.S. Ten Most Wanted list; Mexican media subsequently identified the figure as Ryan Wedding.
- U.S. authorities allege Wedding leads a transnational drug network tied to multiple killings and extensive crypto‑based money laundering, and they offer up to US$15 million for information leading to his capture.
- Recent related actions include the U.S. seizure in Miami of an ultra‑rare Mercedes‑Benz CLK‑GTR Roadster tied to alleged laundering, while Canadian lawyer Deepak Paradkar was granted bail pending possible U.S. extradition.
