FBI, DEA and Homeland Security agents are jumping into a drug probe down in Fort Lauderdale that’s targeting two bothers who are former race drivers, the Associated Press reports.
The news agency reports that the agents on Monday raided the Fort Lauderdale offices Monday of World Jet Inc., which is controlled by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. They had raced in the Indianapolis 500 and other tracks.
AP reports that a DEA search warrant affidavit states that authorities suspect the brothers were leasing aircraft to cocaine cartels, and laundering drug-related profits.
