Canadian Drug Kingpin Ry​an Wedding Arrested After Year‑Long Legal Battle

Canadian national Ryan James Wedding, 44, alleged leader of a cocaine‑smuggling network tied to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, filed a court injunction in mid‑February 2025 in the state of Sinaloa to block an arrest warrant. The filing claimed Mexican authorities were closing in while he resided in Los Mochis. Wedding was detained in Mexico City on Jan 26, 2026, and immediately flown to California where he faces 17 federal charges, including murder, drug trafficking, witness tampering and money laundering. The FBI added him to its 10 most‑wanted list in March 2025 and described him as “the largest narco trafficker in modern times.”
