Mr.
Schiff: The
FBI and police
in Chicago nabbed
a bunch of gang
leaders and members...
Mr. Rice: "Thirty
of the defendants
were charged in
federal court
with violating
federal drug and
weapons laws."
Mr. Schiff: FBI
Special Agent
Ross Rice. He
says there are
still about ten
loose in the Chicago
area...
Mr. Rice: "All
of those charged
were alleged to
be members of
the Latin Kings
Street Gang, which
is one of the
larger and more
established street
gangs in the Chicago
area."
Mr. Schiff:
Rice says they
were charged with
running a very
high level, sophisticated
drug distribution
operation...
Mr. Rice: "They
would stake out
areas in the city
and the suburbs
which they would
claim as their
territory with
respect to drug
sales; they would
have lower level
gang members working
the streets in
those areas almost
daily selling
drugs and turning
the proceeds up
to higher ups
in the gang."
Mr.
Schiff:
This gang used
violence to protect
their turf. The
investigation
continues. I'm
Neal Schiff of
the Bureau and
that's what's
happening at the
"FBI, This
Week."
