Wedding, 44 and 14 other alleged associates were accused of orchestrating the January 2025 killing of a witness who was shot dead at a restaurant in Colombia. Wedding placed a bounty on the victim’s head in that the victim’s death would lead to the dismissal of charges against him and the drug ring he allegedly heads, according to an indictment unsealed in November.

Last month, FBI officials confirmed that Mexican authorities seized $40 million in motorcycles believed to be owned by Wedding. This news came more than a month after Wedding was hit with additional charges and raised the reward for his capture to $15 million.
He participated in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City after missing the Games in 1998. It was the only Olympics he participated in.
