Summary
An Ontario truck driver sentenced to nine years for smuggling 1,800kg of cocaine into Canada was caught in a high-stakes FBI sting—his partner got 37 months. The case ties to Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder dubbed a modern-day Pablo Escobar, accused of orchestrating a global cocaine trafficking empire from Colombia to California and beyond. Wedding, arrested in Mexico and now in U.S. custody, denies all charges—including murder—and the investigation remains shrouded in secrecy, with court documents sealed to protect informants.
