Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez, 44, and his sister, Salma Gonzalez,
32, were arrested Wednesday in connection with a drug trafficking case, and
money laundering, documents
show.
Police Authorities in Miami found millions of dollars
stashed inside buckets hidden in attic walls, along with drugs and a gun,
during a search of a home in the Miami area. The buckets were found, one on top
of the other. When the detectives took the cover, they discovered the wraps of
money. Each one was wrapped in $150k per dose. 24 gallon buckets with millions
of dollars were packed in them and hidden behind a dry wall
A search of the brother's gardening equipment business
Tuesday yielded $180,000 in cash and two types of marijuana labeled "Super
Skunk" and "Chernobyl," police said. When authorities went to his home in Miami Lakes with a
secondary search warrant, they found more money stashed in various locations,
along with four types of anabolic steroids and a loaded TEC-9 pistol with an
extended magazine, arrest documents said.
Hernandez-Gonzalez is facing drug trafficking and money
laundering charges. His sister, who was arrested at the business, is facing
marijuana possession and trafficking charges. The arrests are the culmination of an investigation that
involved the Drug Enforcement Agency in Tennessee and Florida, according to
arrest documents. Investigators say they used confidential sources, and planned
drug buys and surveillance to make the arrests.
