U.S., Canadian authorities announce new arrests in efforts to prosecute fugitive Ryan Wedding

U.S. and Canadian authorities announced new arrests, indictments and sanctions on Wednesday in their continuing efforts to locate, arrest and prosecute Canadian ex-Olympic snowboarder turned fugitive Ryan Wedding, who allegedly leads a transnational crime network.

Appearing at a joint news conference in Washington, D.C., with Canadian authorities, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said authorities have worked closely with international partners. Ms. Bondi unsealed a new indictment outlining new charges, including murder and witness tampering, against more of Mr. Wedding’s alleged associates and increased the reward for information leading to Mr. Wedding’s arrest from $10-million to $15-million.
