Wedding, 44, and 14 other alleged associates were charged with orchestrating the January 2025 murder of a witness who was fatally shot at a restaurant in Colombia. Wedding placed a bounty on the victim’s head, believing the victim’s death would result in charges against him and the drug trafficking ring he allegedly led being dropped, according to an indictment unsealed in November.

Last month, FBI officials confirmed that Mexican authorities had seized $40 million worth of motorcycles believed to belong to 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 competed in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City after missing the 1998 Games. These were the only Olympics he competed in.
