Mexico Seizes 62 Luxury Motorcycles, Drugs in Raids Tied to FBI Fugitive Ryan Wedding

Evidence remains in government custody pending further investigation.

Overview

  • Mexican federal agencies executed four court‑authorized searches in Mexico City and the State of Mexico targeting properties linked to the Canadian ex‑Olympian.
  • Officials reported finding methamphetamine and marijuana, two vehicles, artworks, two Olympic medals, ammunition, a firearm magazine and documents.
  • All properties were sealed and the seized items were turned over to the Ministerio Público, according to a joint government communiqué.
  • The operation formed part of ongoing Mexico–U.S. cooperation as U.S. authorities label Ryan Wedding a Ten Most Wanted fugitive with a reward of up to $15 million and allege ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.
  • Reporting also describes unadjudicated allegations that Wedding moved large quantities of cocaine from Colombia and Mexico and laundered proceeds through cryptocurrencies and luxury vehicles.
