Charges filed include Jaswin Sangha, who has been described as the "Queen of Ketamine"

Five people finally face charges in connection with the death of Matthew Perry, AFP reports, after the developments in the actor's case became clear.
The BBC reported that authorities uncovered a "vast criminal network" that supplied ketamine to Perry and others. The investigation showed that this particular organization profited from Perry's addiction problems.

At a Los Angeles Police press conference, it was announced that five people face charges in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry.
It is recalled that the actor was found unconscious in his home in Los Angeles in October last year.

Who are accused?

The indictment issued by the Department of Justice includes Jaswin Sangha, described as the "Queen of Ketamine" and Dr. Salvador Placentia as defendant in Perry's death. Charges have also been filed against a doctor, Mark Chavez, Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and another person, Eric Fleming.
As Sky News reports regarding the details of the case file, one of the doctors accused of Matthew Perry's death from ketamine wrote in a message: "I wonder how much this idiot will pay."

The message was sent by Salvador Placentia, a doctor also known as “Dr. P", who is one of the five defendants in connection with the actor's death. Other defendants include Jaswin Shanga, known as the "Queen of Ketamine," Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's personal assistant, Eric Fleming, an acquaintance of the TV star.

Details of the charges against the five arrested

Jasveen Sangha, also known as the "Queen of Ketamine": She is charged with distribution of ketamine, maintaining drug premises, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five other counts of distribution ketamine.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia: Charged with distribution of ketamine, altering and falsifying documents or records in connection with a federal investigation.

Eric Fleming: Pleaded guilty to distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. In court documents, Fleming admitted to trafficking the ketamine that caused Perry's death and to having obtained the ketamine from his source, Sangha, by distributing 50 vials of ketamine to Perry's personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, half of which were four days before Perry's death.

Kenneth Iwamasa: Perry's personal assistant who conspired with Sangha, Fleming and Plasencia to illegally purchase and distribute ketamine to Perry. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death and admitted to repeatedly administering ketamine to Perry without medical training, including multiple injections on the day of his death.

Dr. Mark Chavez: The doctor who agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. In his plea agreement, he admitted to selling ketamine to Plasencia, including ketamine that had been removed from his former clinic.

Relations of the persons involved

Matthew Perry Authorities say that between September and October 2023, Perry purchased 20 vials of ketamine worth $55,000.

These purchases led Dr. Placentia, one of the defendants in Perry's death, to write in a message: "I wonder how much this idiot will pay," referring to the actor. Investigators say Placentia wrote in text messages that he wanted to be Perry's "preferred drug supplier."

Authorities explain that as a doctor, Placentia knew the dangers of the drugs she was administering and had even seen Perry get "high" and his blood pressure rise while administering the drugs on one occasion. However, authorities say the doctor left bottles of the drug for his assistant to administer.

Authorities found "ketamine stash"

Martin Strada, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said authorities have discovered a "commercial drug warehouse" of sorts. During the search, 80 bottles of ketamine were found, as well as cocaine and pills.

The suspects used coded language and tried to "hide" their actions after Perry's death

Authorities say the defendants used coded language in their communications, referring to ketamine by names such as “Dr. Pepper", or "bottles" and "cans".

Investigators describe the "coverup" they allege the suspects tried to implement after reports of Perry's death surfaced. According to authorities, Sangha sent a message to one of the suspects asking him to "delete all our messages", while Dr. Doubtful placentation

t that he "falsified" medical records in order to make the drugs appear legitimate.
