A man linked to organized crime in Montreal is currently facing charges related to a murder and cocaine trafficking, and is now up for extradition to the United States. Atna Onha, also known as Tupac or 2-Pac, made a virtual appearance in a Montreal court on Tuesday. The specific charges against him have been kept confidential.
Reportedly, the 40-year-old individual was apprehended early on Tuesday by the RCMP at the behest of the FBI in connection with the case of Ryan Wedding, a former Team Canada Olympian who has turned into a fugitive. Wedding, a Canadian drug lord who represented Canada in snowboarding at the 2002 Olympic Games, is among the FBI’s top 10 most-wanted fugitives.
The U.S. State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million US for any information leading to Wedding’s arrest, which is the highest reward among the 10 individuals on the list. Wedding is facing federal charges related to three murders, involvement in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy, and for heading a criminal enterprise.
A press conference is set to take place in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday regarding the case, as confirmed by sources from Radio-Canada. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme are expected to be present at the conference.
Sources from Radio-Canada suggest that Onha has affiliations with biker gangs and the Mafia in Montreal.
