A rare, 2002 Mercedes CLK-GTR Roadster said to be valued at $13 million has been seized by the FBI as part of its probe into former Olympian and fugitive Ryan James Wedding and his associates, officials announced this week.
The car is one of only six roadsters ever built, Autoblog reported. “With 20 coupes and only six convertibles produced, the Roadster is regarded as one of the rarest modern Mercedes models in existence,” the website stated.
Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, went on to become a transnational narcotics trafficker, authorities have said. He is accused of ordering the murder of a federal witness before he could testify against Wedding, according to an indictment unsealed earlier this week.
Ten other defendants have been arrested on charges in the indictment, which accuses Wedding of orchestrating the January killing of a witness in Colombia to help Wedding avoid extradition to the United States.

Wedding — whose aliases include “El Jefe,” “Public Enemy,” and “James Conrad King” — was charged in 2024 with running a drug ring that moves some 60 tons of cocaine a year using long-haul semi trucks to bring the drugs between Colombia, Mexico, Southern California and Canada.
The U.S. reward for information leading to Wedding’s arrest and/or conviction is now $15 million, the FBI said.
