Street gang that controls ALL of Orange County drug trade taken down
Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out across Southern California on Tuesday, making arrests as part of a two-year investigation dubbed, 'Operation Smokin' Aces'
A total of 129 people have been indicted by county and federal grand juries alleging crimes including murder, drug trafficking and extortion.
The Mexican Mafia, which controls most of the organized crime around LA, San Diego and parts of Arizona sought and received payments from gangs in Orange County in exchange for freely committing crimes in primarily Latino neighborhoods, according to court documents.
Those who refused were put on lists that often resulted in violent retribution.
