EDMONTON – An Edmonton man arrested in connection to accused drug kingpin Ryan Wedding has been freed on bail while awaiting extradition proceedings.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Marta Burns granted bail to Ahmad Nabil Zitoun in a ruling released Friday.
The 35-year-old must provide a $50,000 surety, wear an ankle monitor and live with his mother.
He and nine others were arrested last year in an FBI investigation into an international drug trafficking organization allegedly run by Wedding in Mexico, Colombia, Canada and the United States.
Zitoun is accused of helping the organization try to locate a federal witness.
He faces several charges in the U.S., including conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to tamper with a witness.
Wedding, a former Team Canada Olympic snowboarder, was arrested last month in Mexico and transferred to California to face multiple charges. He is accused of ordering the killings of several people, including a witness in a 2024 narcotics case.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 10, 2026.
