Future’s brother FBG Casino arrested after being found with 21 kilos of fentanyl
FBG Casino has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl. The rapper, who is Future‘s brother, was detained on November 14th.
Casino (real name Rico Deville Buice) was arrested alongside co-defendant David Estevan Montillo Diaz after FBI and DEA agents busted an Airbnb in Forest Park, Georgia.
While officers were breaking in, prosecutors claim FBG Casino tried to escape through a side door. Authorities found 21 kilograms of fentanyl, including one stamped with a Louis Vuitton logo.
They also discovered $300,000 in a cardboard box and another $80,000 in a Goyard bag, and allege the bag matches one spotted on Casino’s Instagram account. In addition, he had $4,000 in his pocket.
Prosecutors claim that “the totality of the circumstances here strongly suggest” that Diaz was in the process of selling fentanyl to FBG Casino.
According to Complex, Casino is facing a maximum of life in prison. As a result, prosecutors are asking for the rapper to be held without bail due to being a flight risk.
In a statement, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, Paul Brown, said, “This operation is an example of the power of the Task Force in disrupting deadly drug trafficking operations. The seizure of 21 kilograms of fentanyl and over $380,000 in drug proceeds is a direct hit to those who seek to poison our communities.”
He continued, “The FBI, in partnership with our law enforcement colleagues, will relentlessly pursue these criminals and hold them accountable.”
FBG Casino’s latest album, It’s All a Chance, was released in September. His 2018 debut album, Disrespectful, featured Future, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Young Scooter, and others.
His biggest song, ‘Lowkey’, is a collaboration with T.I., which has over 2.9 million streams on YouTube.
