The FBI has offered a CAD 10 million bonus for the former Olympia Ryan wedding in Canada, and now has 10 of the most wanted
Canada’s alleged drug king Ryan’s wedding has been added to the FBI’s 10 types of fugitives list, as the reward for information that led to his arrest has been raised to $10 million in the United States.
The FBI and the U.S. State Department issued an announcement at a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, raising the ante in the first RCMP measures introduced in 2015.
The wedding, who competed for Canada as a snowboard at the 2002 Olympics in Utah, faces federal charges related to three murders, a conspiracy for cocaine trafficking and “leading ongoing criminal businesses.”
The Los Angeles Police Department said the wedding’s alleged network uses the city as a major transportation center to move large quantities of drugs, including “five tons of fentanyl per month” toward us and Canadian cities.
“The increase in rewards should be clear: there is no place to be safe for hiding for weddings,” Alan Hamilton, deputy director of LAPD, told reporters.
The FBI also released 43 new photos of the wedding with a blue baseball cap and showed off famous tattoos and gold watches on one arm. The FBI declined to disclose where the photo was taken, but the wedding is believed to live in Mexico under the protection of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel.
“Rich weddings are dangerous and have high connections in high places,” said Akil Davis, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
