Montreal man arrested in connection with Ryan Wedding case
A Montreal man named Tommy Demorizi has been arrested in relation to the international drug trafficking case involving Ryan Wedding, facing serious charges including conspiracy to commit murder.
Tommy Demorizi, a Montreal resident, has been arrested by the FBI at Newark International Airport and is wanted in connection with alleged drug trafficking activities linked to Ryan Wedding, a suspected Canadian drug lord. The FBI issued a federal arrest warrant for Demorizi on October 28, 2025, citing his alleged role in helping an international drug trafficking organization find a witness who was later murdered, raising significant concerns over organized crime activities.
Demorizi faces multiple charges, which include conspiracy to distribute cocaine, conspiracy to commit murder linked to drug crimes, and murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise. Additionally, he is charged with conspiracy to export cocaine and witness tampering. The implications of these charges suggest a broader investigation into drug trafficking networks and the violent measures they may employ to protect their operations and eliminate threats.
This arrest highlights the ongoing issues of drug-related crime and violence, especially in the context of cross-border drug trafficking between Canada and the United States. As authorities work to dismantle these networks, the case may lead to further arrests and insights into the operations of criminal organizations, making it a significant development in the law enforcement efforts against organized crime in North America.
