Overview
- Mexican authorities, working with the FBI, recovered roughly 60–62 racing motorcycles on December 29 worth about $40 million, and the FBI released photos of the haul.
- The collection includes Ducati MotoGP machines associated with Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso, Loris Capirossi and Andrea Iannone, plus Marc Márquez’s title‑winning 2012 Moto2 Suter and an Aprilia 125 linked to Rossi.
- The operation stems from a month of coordinated searches involving Mexican law enforcement, the FBI, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Los Angeles Police Department.
- Ryan James Wedding remains at large under U.S. charges that include drug trafficking, money laundering and homicide, and a reward of up to $15 million is offered for information leading to his arrest or conviction.
- A U.S. official has asserted that Wedding’s network worked with the Sinaloa cartel, and authorities previously reported seizing a 2002 Mercedes GLK‑GTR Roadster valued around $13 million believed connected to the same network.
