COLORADO SPRINGS — The owner of a Colorado Springs building that was the site of a federal raid Sunday morning told Denver7 Investigates he had no idea an underground nightclub was operating on his property.
“I’ve never even seen a lot of trash in the parking lot to even suspect that anything like an after-hours nightclub is going on. So, it’s pretty shocking,” Mike Moon, the owner of the property, told Denver7 Investigates Chief Investigative Reporter Tony Kovaleski.
Moon owns the property, located at 296 S. Academy Boulevard, that the Drug Enforcement Administration said was being used as an illegal nightclub linked to drug trafficking, gang activity, prostitution and violence.
More than 300 law enforcement officers from at least 10 federal agencies raided the property early Sunday morning. They detained more than 100 people, including active-duty military members and individuals in the U.S. illegally.
