The rapper turned himself in on December 4th, after he was charged in a RICO case the government filed against The United Gorilla Stone Nation. Casanova is being held in the Westchester County Jail on two counts: intentionally manufacturing, distributing, and dispensing crack cocaine, cocaine, and marijuana. The Brooklyn rapper, born Caswell Senior, is also charged with possessing a firearm and furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Earlier this week, Casanova’s lawyer went before a judge and presented a $2.5 million bail package, hoping to get him out of the Westchester County Jail. He offered up five properties worth over $1,200,000 million dollars, in addition to 13 cosigners, who put up their salaries which totaled over $1,200,000.
To make matters worse, the Feds revealed they installed a listening device at the Auburn Correctional Facility to eavesdrop on visits between The United Gorilla Stone’s leader Dwight Reid aka “Dick Wolf,” and other members of the gang.
During one visit, a co-defendant named Walter “Shells” Luster told Reid a story about how Casanova accidentally shot a gun during a poker game in New York. Luster continued to blab and revealed Casanova was always carrying a gun while he was in the streets.
They also recorded Casanova’s conversations during numerous prison calls with the gang’s leader.
The Feds bugged Casanova’s visits to prison when he visited United Gorilla Stone leader, Dick Wolf.
