Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a newly unsealed indictment charging fugitive ex‑Olympian Ryan James Wedding with murder, witness tampering, money laundering and drug trafficking tied to a federal witness’s killing in Medellín in January 2025.
- Prosecutors allege Wedding located the witness and posted photos online to facilitate the assassination before the man could testify.
- The State Department increased the reward for information leading to Wedding’s arrest or conviction to up to $15 million and offered up to $2 million each for the unidentified assassins.
- U.S. and Canadian officials reported a coordinated enforcement push that included 12 arrests in an international takedown and seven arrests in Canada, as authorities pursue a network accused of moving cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and California into Canada.
- Justice Canada said Montreal resident Atna Onha was provisionally arrested at the U.S. request and is sought for extradition to face conspiracy to commit murder and other charges, while Treasury’s OFAC imposed sanctions on Wedding and several associates.
