Members of Mexican Mafia convicted on racketeering counts – San Diego

Tagged: , , , ,

“After a trial that lasted two months, a federal jury in San Diego Friday convicted seven members of the notorious Mexican Mafia prison gang on racketeering charges.

The verdict capped a lengthy investigation by federal and state police agencies in San Diego. The probe targeted Hispanic street gangs that have ties to the Mexican Mafia.

This was the first time that federal prosecutors in San Diego used the federal anti-racketeering act against a street gang. At the trial they alleged that the defendants engaged in numerous racketeering acts including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, drug sales and money laundering.”*
