Healer or dealer? Man charged in Toronto's biggest single-day drug and gun bust speaks out

The Toronto man accused in a large drug and gun bust is speaking out, saying on the stand at his trial that he’s a not a major drug dealer, but a 'bio-energy healer' who was as surprised as anyone to find dozens of guns and millions of dollars in drugs in his shared apartment.
The man accused in the largest single-day drug and gun bust in Toronto’s history is speaking out, saying on the stand at his trial that he’s a not a major drug dealer, but a “bio-energy healer” who was as surprised as anyone to find dozens of guns and millions of dollars in drugs in his shared apartment.
Daniel Dubajic’s tearful testimony came as the Crown attorney suggested he was not duped by a roommate but in fact in league with him, making money that he didn’t spend on his humble lifestyle but instead stashed in Bitcoin -- and he would have the judge believe he was just the unluckiest person alive.
“I’ve been doing healing and energy work and helping people for many years. I do natural healing. If you look at social media you’ll see me with the parrots I foster and the ducks I foster,” Dubajic said as his voice rose on the stand.
“I’ve worked with many celebrities. I’ve worked with people who are dying of cancer and the doctor sends them home to die and they survive,” he said.
“Instead of being in the newspaper for that I’m in the newspaper as a drug dealer? I have two cars worth next to nothing. I have no money. I am in debt. It doesn’t make any sense,” he said.
Dubajic was charged with dozens of gun and drug crimes and held in custody after his unassuming apartment in Etobicoke was raided in 2020. Police said at the time they were led there by a tip.
