Former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, Ryan Wedding has been arrested following a long-awaited investigation. He was taken into custody in Mexico on January 23, 2026, and the incident has once again placed him at the centre of international headlines. Once known for representing his country, Ryan now faces serious federal charges while authorities are preparing to move him to the United States for a legal trial. During the investigation, authorities revisited those linked to him. They found that he had been in an alleged relationship with a young woman identified through the care records as Daniela Alejandra Acuna Macias.
Who is Daniela Alejandra Acuna Macias?
Daniela Alejandra Acuna Macias, 23, is a Colombian national. Her name first came up with Ryan Wedding in the late 2025 when the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) released details about individuals allegedly connected to his financial network. According to department sources, Daniela was introduced to Ryan through contacts in Mexico and later became closely associated with him while he lived there.
