Jeweler Accused of Laundering for Olympian Drug Ring | Ottawa News
Description
A Canadian jeweler from Ontario, Rolan Sokolovski, is set to face U.S. charges for allegedly laundering hundreds of millions for a drug ring run by former Olympian Ryan Wedding—now on the FBI’s most wanted list. Though Sokolovski agreed to extradition, his lawyer insists he’s not guilty and plans to fight the case in California. Authorities say he used his jewelry business as a front to move dirty money and even bought luxury goods for Wedding. With tens or hundreds of millions in crypto and assets still tied to him, Sokolovski’s bail was denied in February—just after Wedding’s arrest in Mexico. Wedding faces deadly charges, including ordering assassinations. This high-stakes case now brings Sokolovski to the U.S. to answer for his alleged role in one of the biggest international drug operations in recent memory.
