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

Just last month, FBI officials confirmed that Mexican authorities seized $40 million worth of motorcycles believed to be owned by Wedding. That news came more than a month after Wedding was hit with additional charges and increased the reward for his capture to $15 million.
He participated in the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City after missing the 1998 Games. They were the only Olympic Games in which he competed.
