FBI raids Beverly Hills mansion connected to billionaire businessman

NBC Los Angeles • • nation

Key Points:

  • Federal authorities executed a search warrant Tuesday morning at billionaire Stephen Cloobeck's Beverly Hills mansion, though the nature of the investigation remains undisclosed and the warrant is under seal.
  • Cloobeck previously turned himself in on charges related to attempting to dissuade witnesses in the criminal case against his former fiancée, Adva Lavie, who faces multiple felony charges for alleged theft from men she met online.
  • It is unclear if the recent search is connected to the investigation involving Lavie or to the separate case concerning former U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, whom Cloobeck had supported before sexual misconduct allegations emerged against the politician.
  • Swalwell withdrew from the governor's race and resigned from Congress following the allegations, which he denies; the FBI has conducted multiple searches related to Swalwell earlier this year, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s sex crimes unit is considering charges.
  • Law enforcement sources confirmed no arrests were expected at Cloobeck's residence during Tuesday's search, and authorities have not provided further details on the ongoing investigations.
