Videos:California FBI agents raid offices of Ángel del Villar, Del Records claim it is concerning Gerardo Ortiz

Friday, the FBI executed four search warrants signed by a federal judge to investigate DEL Records and other businesses of Del Villar, who has been a producer for Gerardo Ortiz and Luis Coronel. Click on images to enlarge



The FBI executed four orders signed by a federal judge on Friday and entered the offices of DEL Records, the record company of Ángel del Villar, who is the ex partner of  Chiquis Rivera, dauhgter of the late Jenni Rivera who died in a plane crash in Mexico.

The events occurred at the DEL Records headquarters, located at 6400 Garfield Avenue, in Los Angeles County, California. According to Miguel Luna, FBI special agent, there have been no arrests so far.

Del Villar, who was a partner with Chiquis for  four years, has produced performers such as Régulo Caro, Gerardo Ortiz and Luis Coronel, among others, who signed with DEL Records.

Heavily armed officers entered the company. In addition, it emerged that the police were also in a restaurant of the producer.



There have long been rumors that DEL Records is actually a facade for laundering money that comes from drug trafficking.

What did Ángel del Villar do while the FBI searched his businesses?

While everyone was surprised by the search, the producer shared on social networks that he continued with his daily activities. He even went to eat a hamburger while the searches were taking place.

Variety:


Del Records is in a high-profile legal dispute with Gerardo Ortiz, a norteño singer-songwriter famous for his narco ballads. In 2019, Del Records sued the singer, alleging that he had insisted on being paid for performances in cash so as to evade taxes. The suit also stated that Ortiz had long had problems with the Internal Revenue Service, and that the label had once had to lend him money to pay his back taxes.

The label also claimed that Ortiz had performed a show in Mexico for an alleged trafficker, which drew the attention of the U.S. government.


In a statement on Friday, the label said that the investigation was related to Ortiz.

Ortiz issued a statement through his company, Badsin Entertainment, claiming that the agents had also searched the home of the label’s CEO, Jose Angel del Villar.

“To our knowledge the search by the FBI at Del Records office and Mr. Del Villar’s home does not involve Mr. Ortiz,” Ortiz’s company said.

Del Records’ representative could not confirm or deny whether Del Villar’s home was searched. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed that a home in Huntington Beach was searched, but declined to say who lives there. Public records, however, link the address to Del Villar.

Ortiz filed his own complaint against Del Villar and Del Records in 2019, accusing the label of underpaying him by millions of dollars. The singer claimed that the label had engaged in fraudulent accounting practices, and had failed to account for hundreds of shows.

    5. @8:38 you are right about Wall Street they are classy blue collar thieves. Now the Italian mafia had their reign because they had everybody in their pockets how is extorting your own and selling drugs to your people classy. Now because Villar is Mexican somehow he’s the only dirty ass? Villar is up there almost with the classy Wall Street he made a successful business to launder cartel money. Everything was going good until Ortiz decided to start hanging around CJNG. Like the people in the inland empire with car lots they launder money. But what ever this is nomore del records

  28. It was bound to happened. After so many corridos he made all his singers do for him with codes affiliating with illicit activities in code what do you expect.. in a downlow he wanted to let people know he is not ment to fuck with.. well, there you go here is the outcome. Feds won’t stop here they gonna bring him down if he doesn’t learn from this experience.. There’s also this interview years back we’re he made a comment when ask is it true that del records was founded will illicit money, To what he reply’s No, but I believe sometimes you got to do what you got do In order to provide for your family’..

    Plus rumors are he is linked to the Avendaños in Culiacán.

  36. The whole Mexican Regional Music industry is a huge haven for tax evasion and money laundering. Concerts are almost always a loss but you can take in alot of cash and unde-report or over-report revenue with 95% of the transactions involving cash. Its not uncommon to see promoters pushing large concerts aka bailes in small hispanic communities where its impossible for them to recoup costs. Everyone involved is in bed with narcos.

  40. If it’s true it’s about laundering, the easiest way of doing that is showing you paid out more than you actually did. Could be they inflated Gerardos earnings which got him in a pickle with the IRS. If true GO has reason to be upset.

  41. So the FBI is targeting this Mexican-American label? When are they going to go after hip hop labels? They're mostly drug fronts as well-- the drug trade is intertwined with the rap music industry.

    There surely has to be drug kingpins in the US that deal drugs wholesale? How come they're never arrested? Or there not even named?

    3. This is aways going to be an issue and no one I'd going to change the others mind. Who is at fault, the consumer or the suppliers... Just answer this, is it possible to sell drugs and not kill anyone? As a Mexican I do not agree with your opinion and how you phrase it. I'm more offended that the Mexican people are killing their own people "because of the gringos"... The Mexican drug dealer's job is to cross drugs obviously but why does he change his tactic once he gets across? Why isn't he killing his competition over in the US? There is no need to kill your fellow people to supply the gringos... It's greed and that falls on the supplier's side.

    4. And allow me to continue... Where do these narcos get the idea that these routes, streets, plazas belong to them? Are they building them? Maintaining them? How much of a self absorbed psychopath do you have to be to kill someone else that is driving on said road with a load of drugs because that said road "belongs to you" ... Do we really have to get into the basic meaning of the word "ownership"... Build your own damn toll road! Those routes are public property!
