It is believed that Flores and Lopez relied upon an unnamed Voodoo priest to help with “predictions” surrounding how the organization should conduct itself, including whether they should continue after detectives intercepted $200,170 in cash back in February.
Authorities in Florida busted a methamphetamine drug ring this week that included more than two dozen suspects — one of whom is a voodoo priest who leaders purportedly relied upon for “predictions, prophecies and readings” to help them smuggle drugs across the country.
In a mission known as “Operation Hoodoo Voodoo,” detectives and agents determined that 25 suspects were involved in trafficking the illicit drug throughout Florida’s Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole Counties, according to a press release distributed by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
Police arrested at least 16 suspects this week in an investigation that first began in October 2013.
Authorities believe that the methamphetamine was organized by a supplier in Southern California known as “El Don,” whose real name is Javier Flores; he is still at large.
