Last week, the FBI and the RCMP announced 10 new arrests in connection with a $1-billion drug-trafficking ring allegedly run by Canadian former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding. The charges, which haven’t been tested in court, include drug trafficking, conspiracy to retaliate against a witness and murder. Wedding, who’s been in hiding since 2015, is now one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives.
Eric Andrew-Gee is The Globe’s Quebec correspondent. He’s on the show to talk about what these new charges bring to light, and whether authorities are any closer to capturing Wedding.
