LOS ANGELES (KNX) — A Hollywood woman accused of running a drug-delivery operation and the TV actor she allegedly employed to deliver the drugs are facing federal charges in connection to the fatal opioid overdose of a Beverly Hills man.
Mirela Todorova, the 33-year-old alleged ringleader of the drug operation who also went by “Mimi,” is currently being held without bond after being charged last year for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and ecstasy, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Central District of California.
Todorova’s alleged delivery man, 36-year-old Mucktarr Kather Sei, was charged in a federal grand jury indictment last week that alleges he delivered fentanyl-laced pills that led to the death of a Beverly Hills man in late 2020.
In connection to the man’s death, Todorova and Sei have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, and one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.
The four-count superseding indictment also charges Todorova with the two previously alleged drug counts stemming from the seizure of cocaine and MDMA at her Hollywood residence in March 2021, prosecutors said.
According to the indictment, Todorova allegedly provided cell phone and narcotics, including counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl, to Sei and other drivers for the purpose of delivering drugs to customers across Los Angeles County.
Todorova also is accused of delivering the drugs herself and giving Sei keys to her apartment so he could access drugs when she visited Mexico, where she continued to manage her drug operation while tending to her pet jaguar, “Princess.”
On Nov. 15 and 16, 2020, a 37-year-old father placed orders for oxycodone pills to Todorova’s phone number and Sei — who is credited for playing a cop on an episode of the CBS series “S.W.A.T.” — delivered the fentanyl-laced pills that caused the man’s death, prosecutors alleged.
As part of the transaction, Sei called the man from a phone that Todorova provided to facilitate drug sales, prosecutors added.
According to the indictment, other drug customers of Todorova raised concerns about the authenticity and safety of the oxycodone pills that she and Sei allegedly distributed before and after the fatal overdose.
Several weeks before the death of the drug customer in Beverly Hills, another customer texted Todorova, “Yo mimi the oxys are dirty,” the indictment alleged.
The charges of conspiracy to distribute drugs and drug distribution resulting in death carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, according to prosecutors.
