Dozens of motorcycles believed to belong to Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder turned alleged drug kingpin, were seized this month by authorities in Mexico, the FBI confirmed on Monday while releasing images of the property.
The 44-year-old Canadian national, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, is wanted for allegedly running a transnational drug trafficking operation that ships cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California, to Canada and other locations, according to the FBI.

This month, Mexican authorities “seized a large number of motorcycles” estimated to be worth $40 million, believed to belong to the fugitive, the FBI Los Angeles said in a statement on social media on Monday, along with multiple photos of the motorcycles.
The FBI, Los Angeles Police Department, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Mexican authorities collaborated on the “successful seizure,” the FBI Los Angeles said.
Last week, Mexican officials announced the seizure of items “related to a former Olympic athlete who is among the 10 most wanted fugitives by U.S. authorities,” though they did not specifically identify Wedding.
The items included 62 “high-end” motorcycles, as well as two vehicles, artwork, two Olympic medals, drugs and other items, according to Mexico’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.

The items were seized from four properties in Mexico City and the state of Mexico during the execution of search warrants, according to the agency, which it said was committed to “strengthening international cooperation to stop perpetrators of violence and combat high-impact crimes.”
Wedding was indicted in Los Angeles federal court last year on multiple charges, including running a continuing criminal enterprise, committing murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and assorted drug crimes.
New charges announced in November allege he ordered the killing of a witness in the federal case. The victim was shot in the head multiple times at a restaurant in Colombia in January, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles said.

The Department of State is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Wedding, who is believed to be in Mexico and being protected by the Sinaloa cartel, authorities said.
