Drummond controlled the illegal but popular private lottery system known as the Jogo do Bicho, or "animal game", in the Leopoldina area of Rio de Janeiro.

[4] In 1999, Drummond was charged with the murder of the gambling racketeer, Abílio Português in 1998, but the timing of his arrest appeared aimed at sending a message to mob leaders involved in the Rio Carnival.

Police said Drummond and his alleged victim had clashed in a territorial dispute over the control of the Jogo do Bicho.

[5] Drummond died on 1 July 2020, in the Hospital Copa Star in Rio de Janeiro after suffering a stroke the day before.

[4] On 13 March 2006 the Federal Police arrested Luizinho’s son Luiz Antônio Drummond in Belém, in the state Pará in the northeast of Brazil, in an operation against illegal gambling with slot machines, known in Brazil as "nickel hunters" (caça-níqueis).
