Dramatic photos show dozens of armed SWAT officers lining up for 'botched' raid of $4.5million waterfront home of Del Records music executive who launched careers of controversial Mexican narco artists - but who moved out days before
Idiots. What possible impact would breaking down the front door have on a willing witness? Now is not the time to make fools of yourselves, guys — President Trump already views your organization with a jaundiced eye, for some reason.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show a SWAT team preparing to raid the $4.5million California home of Del Records music executive Jose Angel del Villar at 6am on Friday

  • Villar is known for launching the careers of controversial Mexican narco music artists including Gerardo Ortiz

  • Del Records said in a statement that the dramatic raid was part of a criminal investigation into Ortiz Note that the homeowner was not being investigated, but was cooperating in the investigation of Mr. Ortiz.
  • Ortiz, who is currently in a bitter legal battle with his label, shot back saying he had nothing to do with the raid on Villar's office and home, and claimed that Villar had 'swindled' him out of 'many tens of millions of dollars'

  • The label chief's offices in East Los Angeles and two other locations were also raided on the same day

  • A neighbor said the raid was 'botched' as Villar and his family had moved out of the home the previous week
    ... because the house was in the process of being renovated. So the only ones impressed by FBI flash-bangs and automatic weapons early in the morning were the neighbours.
  • Villar turned up two hours later, according to the neighbor, and was served a search warrant but not arrested

  • 'They were armed to the teeth with fully automatic M4s, 45-caliber backup weapons, their own medics. I saw them pull out of the house an articulated telescope that can go around corners,' the neighbor said
