The apprehension of Wedding, a 44-year-old Canadian national, is expected to be announced Friday at a news conference with FBI Director Kash Patel in California.
Wedding was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list last year. He was believed to have been living in Mexico.
Wedding has been accused of running a major drug trafficking network that moved cocaine from Colombia through Mexico to the U.S. and Canada.
In November, Wedding was accused of placing a “multimillion-dollar bounty” on a federal witness who was involved in a narcotics case against him.
According to the FBI, Wedding and his second-in-command Andrew Clark, 34, allegedly also ordered the killings of two members of a Canadian family in 2023 in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment.
The pair are also accused of directing the killing of another person in 2024 over a drug debt, according to the FBI.
