U.S. Marshals over the last three months have arrested 180 fugitives with suspected ties to street gangs throughout Arizona as reported by KNXV: "of those 180 arrests, 59 were for drugs, 33 for aggravated assault, 29 for weapons offenses, nine for assisting a criminal street gang, eight for sex offenses, five for homicide, and five for robbery."
Anthony Federici, the owner of the Parkside Restaurant in Corona, Queens, wasn't always a reputed Genovese boss.
Apparently he once was just a teen hellion with a sledgehammer who attended Flushing High School.
In January 1959 an 18-year-old Anthony Federici of 112-08 39th Avenue was arrested for "allegedly smashing the windows and fenders of a car driven by Robert DeMayo" and appeared in Ridgewood Adolescents Court as reported by the Long Island Star-Journal. It's unclear on the case's ultimate disposition for the Federici lad although his alleged victim "was treated in Elmhurst General Hospital for head cuts from the broken glass."
The feds have indicted a gaggle of suspected gangbangers with the Latin Kings on the usual charges in Holland, MI as reported by Peg McNichol for The Holland Sentinel: "the indictment blames Holland Latin Kings for murder, arson, assault,
witness tampering, obstruction of justice, drug and weapons trafficking
in West Michigan and beyond, detailing a long-standing relationship with
Chicago-area Latin Kings."
Meanwhile, Vicente Garcia Jr., the one-time "Supreme Regional Inca" from the Chicago cell of the Latin Kings was sentenced to forty years in prison following his 2011 racketeering conviction for "using murder and other acts of violence to protect [the] gang's drug
trafficking enterprise" as reported by Naomi Nix for the Chicago Tribune: "'this sentence holds Garcia accountable for the barbaric enterprise
known as the Latin Kings and his role in murder, attempted murder,
shootings, beatings, drug trafficking, and other crimes,' U.S. Attorney
Gary S. Shapiro said in a statement."
*** Councilman in San Diego County, CA rails against a lax prison system which allows the Mexican Mafia from behind bars to control gangs on the street:
"It frustrates me to know that these [street gangs] are being controlled in prison. You have to be so politically correct, making sure they have the right kind of toilet paper and every other stupid thing. How come we can't keep them from communicating to the outside?"
*** MS-13 member gets 25 years in prison for killing Mexican immigrant after an argument at a bar in Rock Hill, SC: "[the victim] was shot in the face and head, tried to run, then was shot in the back."
