Seven Canadians have been apprehended for extradition to the United States as part of an investigation involving a former Canadian Olympian-turned-alleged drug lord who is wanted for the murder of a federal witness in January.
Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta residents were identified by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI, and the RCMP this week as allegedly being involved in the suspected drug empire of Ryan James Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder who now sits atop the FBI’s 10 most-wanted fugitives list. The accused includes a lawyer, a musician, and a news website operator.
