She possessed a fleet of over 80 brand-new motorcycles utilized for motorcycle taxi services in Turbo. She was also involved in the construction of luxurious residences in underprivileged areas of the same municipality. It is alleged she has been using funds derived from drug trafficking to create a facade of legitimacy.
