Three alleged Orange County Mexican Mafia members and 28 alleged associates are facing a series of charges as a result of a years-long investigation, the Department of JusticeWednesday. The defendants are facing charges that include murder, attempted murder, drug and gun related charges as well as racketeering offenses.
The Mexican Mafia, otherwise known as La Eme, consists of senior members of Latino street gangs who've joined together to rule and profit from other California gangs, according to the DOJ. The members allegedly divvied up control across various areas throughout the Southern California and would receive "taxes" paid by gangs so as to allow drug distribution within the area.
The group is also accused of engaging in drug distribution, which carries a maximum life sentence in prison and a mandatory minimum sentence of five to 10 years, the DOJ said. The Justice Department said that, as part of an investigation, undercover authorities conducted multiple purchases of methamphetamine and heroin from OC Mexican Mafia associates.
