HONOLULU, Hawaii – The upcoming federal trial in Honolulu, Hawaii involves a 48-year-old businessman of allegedly running a criminal enterprise known as the “Miske Enterprise.” This operation is accused of trafficking drugs, as well as masterminding the kidnapping and murder of 21-year-old Jonathan Fraser.
Accusations against Michael Miske Jr. include murder, kidnapping, bank fraud, and cocaine distribution. Jury selection began on Monday, with more than 900 witnesses expected to take the stand.
Fraser’s connection to Miske dates back to a high-speed crash in 2015 that resulted in the death of Miske’s son. According to reports, Miske blamed Fraser for the accident, leading to a sinister plot for revenge.
The indictment also alleges that Miske and his associates ran various businesses, including a pest control company, to facilitate their criminal activities. The group allegedly used firearms, encrypted communication apps, and fraudulent practices for decades, avoiding detection.
The trial is expected to shed light on the alleged criminal activities and the role played by Miske and his co-defendants. Although the victim’s body has never been found, the testimony of multiple witnesses is expected to provide insights into the inner workings of the criminal enterprise.
Prosecutors also have evidence of Miske’s alleged involvement in torture and killing. Multiple individuals linked to Miske have reportedly provided information about his orders to carry out hits on other potential victims between 2015 and 2016.
