Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, along with officials from the State and Treasury Departments, are set to hold a press conference on Wednesday morning to discuss significant enforcement actions targeting an international criminal organization. The event will also feature Commissioner Michel Duheme of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The announcement is scheduled for 11 a.m. and is expected to shed light on pressing matters related to Ryan Wedding, a former member of Team Canada for the Olympics. Sources from Radio-Canada indicate that the press briefing will touch on the extradition of a Canadian citizen charged with murder, following an RCMP arrest at the behest of the FBI in connection with Wedding’s case.
Wedding has gained notoriety as he finds himself on the FBI’s list of ten most-wanted fugitives, with the U.S. State Department offering a reward of up to $10 million for any information leading to his apprehension. This notable case has drawn attention not only due to Wedding’s athletic background but also due to the serious criminal accusations he faces, underlining the international dimensions of law enforcement efforts.
This collaboration between U.S. and Canadian authorities showcases the commitment to tackling organized crime and reinforces the critical importance of international cooperation in enforcing the law.
