FBI releases new photo of Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding, reward raised to $15M
Ryan Wedding, wanted for leading a billion-dollar drug ring, remains on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list with a $15 million reward for his capture.
- On December 9, 2025, the FBI in Los Angeles released a newly obtained photo of Ryan Wedding on social media, saying it was taken in Mexico last summer.
- Added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted earlier this year, Wedding is accused of leading a drug network trafficking 60 metric tons of cocaine annually for US$1 billion, with a $15 million reward.
- The image shows Wedding shirtless on a pillow with a lion chest tattoo, differing from 2024 FBI photos with a moustache and full-sleeve arm tattoo; the FBI has not disclosed the photo's source.
- Facing multiple murder and drug charges, the U.S. Department of Justice alleges Wedding ordered the January 31 killing of a key witness and seven other Canadians were arrested.
- Believed to be sheltered by the Sinaloa Cartel, authorities say Ryan Wedding's network moves 60 metric tons of cocaine per year, generating US$1 billion, with 36 people arrested.
