Mirela Todorova, a 36-year-old from Hollywood, was convicted of running a drug delivery business responsible for multiple overdoses, including a fatal one in 2020. Prosecutors likened her operation to "Uber for drugs," which distributed various narcotics including fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine. The jury found her guilty on nine counts after her trial revealed she ignored warnings about the danger of her products. Despite the evidence and testimonies from survivors and former clients, she showed no emotion upon the verdict. Her sentencing is expected to carry severe penalties due to the nature of her crimes.
"It's not something I signed up for," said Sei, who is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of drugs with intent to distribute. "People are getting sick. People are getting hurt."
Authorities said they were first alerted to the operation in 2020, when Beverly Hills resident Ray Mascolo was found dead, reportedly after purchasing fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills from one of Todorova's delivery drivers.
