Mexico Seizes 62 Luxury Motorcycles in Raids Linked to FBI Most Wanted Ex‑Olympian

The searches followed a U.S.–Mexico investigation targeting Ryan James Wedding, with a reward of up to $15 million still active.

Overview

  • Authorities carried out four court‑authorized searches in Mexico City and Estado de México, recovering meth and marijuana, two vehicles, artworks, two Olympic medals, ammunition, a magazine and documents.
  • The seized items were placed with the public prosecutor and the properties were sealed and secured by federal forces.
  • Participating agencies included FGR, SSPC, Semar, Sedena and the National Guard under a bilateral operation with the United States.
  • Officials have not announced Wedding’s capture, and the FBI reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his arrest remains in effect.
  • U.S. filings allege Wedding ran large‑scale cocaine shipments from Colombia through Mexico to North America and engaged in violence, with Mexican reports tying him to the Sinaloa Cartel and money‑laundering schemes.
