Pam Bondi Drops the Hammer, Begins Bringing RICO Charges​

On Monday, the Department of Justice dropped two major indictments involving 27 members of Tren de Aragua on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations charges. The alleged crimes range from sex and drug trafficking to racketeering to firearms crimes

“Of the 27 defendants, 21 are in federal custody, including 16 who were already in federal criminal, immigration, or state custody and five who were arrested last night and today in operations in New York and other jurisdictions,” a Monday media release from the Department of Justice read.

The indictment alleged that the gang’s purpose included “[p]reserving and protecting the power and territory of TdA and its members and associates through acts involving murder, assault, robbery, other acts of violence, and threats of violence, including acts of violence and threats of violence directed at former members and associates of TdA who associated with a splinter organization known as Anti-Tren.”
