Five reputed drug dealers were hit with federal charges Thursday for allegedly peddling fentanyl-laced opioid pills that killed Robert De Niro’s grandson in 2023.

Grant McIver, Bruce Epperson, Eddie Barreto, John Nicolas and Roy Nicolas were part of a criminal crew that sold thousands of counterfeit pills to unsuspecting teens and young adults across the Big Apple, according to an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court.

“Today, justice has been delivered,” DEA Special Agent in Charge Frank Tarentino said in a statement Thursday.

Delivered = conviction. The road to justice has barely begun.

I’m always reminded that DeNiro and his crew, including Martin Scorcese, were huge drug abusers. Scorsese almost died from an overdose, and DeNiro was there shortly before John Belushi died.

Don’t know how that history has carried over to his family.

Right! As far as sinking cartel ships goes, it reminds me of General Le May, when asked about bombing the VC..."At some point you get tired of swatting flies and you have to go for the manure heap."

The cops wouldn’t have spent more than 5 minutes on this case if it wasn’t DeNiro’s grandkid.

De Niro has a $30 million reason to hate Trump. Something to do with a confiscation from the US Treasury, during July 2017. Also a little thing he did with a 12 year old girl in Africa, also the main reason his black wife (married for 22 years) divorced him.

Yes, it’s all out there. De Niro makes Jeff Epstein look like a piker when it concerns underage black girls.

What a terrible tragedy!

Not to give one's full support to President Trump and his revolution to make America great and defeat the decadence of Western Civilization is sheer madness.

As far as sinking cartel ships goes, keep Stephen Decatur in mind and the shores of Tripoli!

Funny. De Niro’s Grandson’s death gets special FBI treatment, and yet nearly 20 years in, they still haven’t found the dealer that sold drugs to my deceased Nephew!

Some animals ARE more equal than others! *SPIT*

(Sorry the kid died. Just pointing out more of our ‘two-tiered just-us’ system! Grrrr!)

No worries. He’s still got a son who thinks he’s a girl.

Condolences to you Diana. I’m sure they are hot on the trail of the drug dealer that facilitated my nephews death in 2018. In Wisconsin.

How many deaths do not get special treatment by the DEA?

The policies of DeNiro’s beloved democrats led to the death of his grandson, and the policies of the man he hates brought him justice.
Let’s see how big and stupid his mouth is now...

Condolences to family and friends of all who have died from the effects of non-healing, unmonitored drugs.
