Mexico Seizes 62 Luxury Motorcycles, Drugs in Raids Tied to Fugitive Ex‑Olympian Ryan Wedding

Mexican federal agencies say the court‑authorized searches stemmed from joint work with U.S. investigators.

Overview

  • Authorities searched residences in Mexico City and Estado de México, recovering methamphetamine, marijuana, two vehicles, artworks, two Olympic medals, ammunition and documents.
  • The operations involved the FGR, SSPC, Navy, Defense Ministry and National Guard under warrants granted by a control judge.
  • Officials said the properties were sealed and all seized items were turned over to the Ministerio Público for continuing inquiries.
  • Wedding remains at large as one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted, with a reward of up to $15 million and U.S. officials saying he is believed to be hiding in Mexico.
  • Most reports cite four searches, though La Jornada reported ten, and the broader U.S. case alleges Wedding led a cocaine network and orchestrated multiple murders.
