Iranian-born Farzad Toutouni, known in the US for his luxury cars, private jets, and lavish parties, has been detained by immigration teams. It was stated that Toutouni, who had previously been deported, re-entered the country illegally in 2011.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained Iranian-born Farzad "Tony" Toutouni, known for his luxurious lifestyle. Toutouni, who drew attention with expensive cars, private jets, and parties he attended with women, was reported to be in the country illegally. Authorities announced that Toutouni will be held in custody until his deportation proceedings are completed.
HE FIRST CAME TO THE U.S. IN 1983
According to a statement by ICE, Toutouni first entered the U.S. legally in 1983. However, toward the late 1980s, he faced charges including drug possession and distribution, threats, conspiracy to commit a crime, and forgery. Toutouni, who was sentenced to more than 16 months in prison, had a deportation order issued against him in 1993, but the order was not enforced at that time.
HE SAID HE CROSSED THE BORDER ON AN ELECTRIC RAFT
A deportation order was issued for Toutouni again in 1999, and he was sent to Mexico. According to ICE, Toutouni said that around April 4, 2011, he illegally re-entered the U.S. by crossing the river near Saint Clair in Michigan on an electric raft he had purchased from Canada.
LUXURY CARS AND GLAMOROUS PARTIES
Known by the name "Lunatic Living," Toutouni drew attention with his luxurious lifestyle as he reached more than a million followers. Footage with expensive sports cars, private jets, and women was among the prominent elements of his life. ICE also stated that some of the content Toutouni published was pornographic in nature.
A MURDER HAD BEEN COMMITTED IN FRONT OF HIS HOME
Toutouni's name was also mentioned in connection with a murder that occurred in front of the house he rented in West Hollywood in June 2023. Israeli immigrant Emil Lahaziel was killed in the incident, which was said to be linked to a high-stakes poker game. In 2025, a case was filed against Assaf "Ace" Waknine over an extortion attempt alleged to be connected to the murder. However, authorities stated that there was no allegation that Toutouni was involved in the murder.
