An actor & a Hollywood woman have been charged for allegedly operating a drug trafficking ring that caused a fatal opioid overdose.
Kather Sei, who has appeared in Lucifer & S.W.A.T., was arrested Saturday & was arraigned Monday, per a release from the U.S. Department of Justice, which adds that he was officially charged in a grand jury indictment Feb. 24.
"The indictment alleges that Sei delivered fentanyl-laced pills that led to the death of a Beverly Hills man in late 2020."
The victim is Ray Mascolo, 37, whose parents are Bruno & Kyara Mascolo, co-founders of Bed Head hair care products
Sei & Mirela "Mimi" Todorova, 33, "are charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute & possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, & one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death," the Justice Department says. Todorova is already in custody for charges with intent to distribute cocaine & ecstasy last year.
The indictment alleges Todorova provided cellphones & drugs, including counterfeit "oxycodone pills containing fentanyl," to Sei & other drivers, who would then allegedly distribute the narcotics to customers.
Todorova allegedly issued the drugs & provided Sei with access to her apartment in Hollywood so he could get the narcotics when Todorova was in Mexico. While there, she allegedly oversaw the drug ring & looked after her pet jaguar, Princess.
The victim contacted Todorova for oxycodone pills on Nov. 15 & 16, 2020, the release adds, stating, "Sei allegedly delivered pills laced with fentanyl that caused the man's fatal overdose in his Beverly Hills home." He's named in Todorova's phone as "Ray Client Rich Kid."
Ahead of the victim's death, Todorova and Sei's customers addressed concerns had about the pills they were providing, with one telling Todorova via text, "Yo mimi the oxys are dirty."
In August 2020, Todorova told Sei via text, "Just remember to say everything is clean," the indictment says.
She and Sei face 20 years to life in prison, the Justice Department states.
