Three people have been in connection with an undercover investigation into counterfeit clothing and testosterone sales in Miami, according to NBC Miami. Authorities allege that beginning in March, undercover purchases were made at a store on Northwest 7th Street. In March, they bought Amiri-branded clothing from Roynel Matos for $970, and in April bought Amiri-branded shoes from Matos and Yeinys Rodriguez-Canizares for $1,100, which were later determined to be counterfeit. In May, authorities arranged to buy testosterone cypionate with Matos over the phone and purchased it in person from Yassel Darboys for $300. Last month, a similar purchase of testosterone was made for $540. The suspects allegedly used the store and a corporation in the enterprise, and Matos also owns and operates multiple accident clinics. Surveillance at one clinic on Coral Way showed no one inside over several hours. Bank records allegedly showed Matos sending 171 wire transfers to Turkey dating back to 2022, with several wire purpose codes altered from "invoice payment" to "gift or donation." The case is at the charging stage, and the allegations have not been proven in court.

    Three Charged in Miami Undercover Probe of Counterfeit Clothing and Testosterone Sales

    Three people have been charged in connection with an undercover investigation in Miami that involved the sale of counterfeit clothing and testosterone, according to NBC Miami. Charged are Yeinys Rodriguez-Canizares, 33, Roynel Matos, 44, and Yassel Darboys, 40.

    Authorities began making undercover purchases at a store on Northwest 7th Street. In March, they bought Amiri-branded clothing from Matos for $970, and in April bought Amiri-branded shoes from Matos and Rodriguez-Canizares for $1,100, the reports said. The items were later determined to be counterfeit, authorities said. In May, authorities arranged to buy testosterone cypionate with Matos over the phone and bought it in person from Darboys for $300. Last month, they made a similar purchase of testosterone for $540, the reports said.

    According to the reports, the suspects used the store and a corporation in the "enterprise," and Matos also owns and operates multiple accident clinics. While conducting surveillance at one of the clinics on Coral Way, authorities didn't see anyone inside over the course of several hours, the reports said. Investigators also obtained bank records that showed Matos was sending wire transfers to Turkey dating back to 2022, the reports said. There were 171 wire transfers, and the wire purpose code on several transfers had their codes altered and mischaracterized from "invoice payment" to "gift or donation," the reports said.

    The case is at the charging stage, and the allegations have not been proven in court.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
