Overview
- Police and FBI agents raided the rapper Lazaro Lesteiro‑Diaz’s Miami home and found a room described in the arrest report as containing Cuban Santeria/Voodoo items, a live baby goat with orange paint around its neck, and two decapitated chickens.
- Authorities say the probe began after videos and livestreams from June and July allegedly showed him explaining bank 'spoofing' and account‑takeover tactics while flaunting cash, firearms and victims’ personal information.
- Officers seized a Glock 21 with an extended magazine, ammunition, multiple IDs, cash, jewelry, suspected cannabis and bottles containing suspected promethazine/codeine, and investigators recovered video evidence linking the dead chickens to the suspect.
- Lesteiro‑Diaz was arrested on Thursday and charged with five counts, including possession of a controlled substance, money laundering, organized scheme to defraud, unlawful possession of identification, and animal cruelty; a judge found probable cause and set bond at $30,000.
- The baby goat was taken to Miami Animal Rescue and temporarily cared for by Felix Varela High School’s Veterinary Academy before transfer to a farm, and investigators continue to review seized electronics and media as the case moves forward.
