More than 230 alleged MS-13 members were arrested worldwide in what is being called an unprecedented investigation.
Nearly 100 alleged members of the violent MS-13 gang and associates have been charged on New York’s Long Island, in one of the largest takedowns of the criminal enterprise in U.S. history, officials said.
The charges against 96 accused members and associates in Suffolk County were the results of a nearly two-year investigation, which the county district attorney’s office said thwarted seven murder plots. More than 230 alleged gang members were arrested worldwide, including in El Salvador and Baltimore, authorities said. Ray Donovan, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge for the New York division, called it an"unprecedented" investigation.
"MS-13 is a ruthless, savage gang," Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini said at a news conference, pointing to a machete recovered by law enforcement, which is said to be the gang’s signature weapon."They will attempt to recalibrate and send individuals to take up leadership roles in Suffolk County. That’s why we have to stay vigilant.”.
