The woman arrested in connection with the alleged overdose death of Robert De Niro’s 19-year-old grandson Leandro has been photographed in a court sketch.

Sofia Haley Marks, 20, known as the ‘Princess of Percocet,’ is charged with distributing narcotics but pleaded no guilty in Manhattan federal court on Friday.

The judge did not set bail for his release.

Marks was arrested Thursday night around 6:00 p.m. in an NYPD sting operation.

Leandro’s lifeless body was found sitting on a chair next to a white powder inside a $950,000 one-bedroom apartment on Wall Street in New York.

Leandro’s body was found sitting on a chair next to a white powder on July 2. He is pictured with his mother Drena and his grandfather Robert De Niro.

A police source tells DailyMail.com the substance was found near his body and there were no signs of trauma. He was found by a friend who hadn’t heard from him in a few days and was checking on him.

Police say Marks has sold pills to children as young as 15, according to the new york post office.

‘She sells the children. She is well known in the world of drug trafficking,” the source told the outlet. The feds got involved. They had another purchase last night. So they said, “Pick it up now.”

Aspiring actor and director Leandro was following in the professional footsteps of his mother and grandfather, landing a small role in 2018’s A Star Is Born as the son of Bradley Cooper’s best friend George ‘Noodles’ Stone, played by Dave Chappelle. . He also appeared in Cabaret Maxime in 2018.

His mother, Drena De Niro, an American actress adopted by De Niro after the actor married his mother, Diahnne Abbott in 1976, announced his death.

She made De Niro a grandfather in 2003 when she welcomed Leandro with her then-boyfriend, graffiti artist Carlos Rodríguez.

Earlier this month, the grieving mother said on social media that her son died of a fentanyl overdose.

She claimed that someone sold her beloved son drugs that were contaminated, causing his death.

“Someone sold her fentanyl pills that they knew were mixed and they still sold them,” Drena said on Instagram.

She added: “To all these people who keep buying and selling this shit, my son is gone forever,” she added.

The mother made the comment in response to a commenter who asked how her son died.

De Niro also released a statement on his grandson’s death, saying he was “deeply distraught” and appreciated the condolences that had reached his family.

“Someone sold her fentanyl pills that they knew were mixed and they still sold them,” Drena said on Instagram.

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo,” he said.

‘We are very grateful for everyone’s condolences. We ask that we be given privacy to mourn the loss of Leo.

NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters last month that fentanyl is now “probably mixed into 98% of the drugs” in the Big Apple.

“Fentanyl is in everything now, in everything,” Essig said. “Now people have a low tolerance, which is why they overdose so much.”

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. It’s also a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Illegally manufactured fentanyl (IMF) is available on the drug market in different forms, including liquid and powder.

Powdered fentanyl is similar to many other drugs. It is usually mixed with drugs like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine and made into pills that resemble other prescription opioids.

Leandro’s death came after the Justice Department filed charges against several Chinese companies and executives for their alleged role in the fentanyl trade in the United States.

Federal prosecutors say that almost all fentanyl precursors are manufactured in and shipped from China today.

Criminal organizations like the infamous Sinaloa cartel in Mexico work with Chinese companies to source their ingredients for fentanyl.
