KTLA : Federal, state officials announce indictment of 68 members of neo-Nazi group in Los Angeles

Federal and local law enforcement officials announced court filings and arrests related to an organized crime ring in Los Angeles run by a neo-Nazi group affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said that the bust being announced Wednesday morning is one of the “largest takedowns in the history of the Department of Justice of a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, violent extremist organization.”

A total of 68 people were indicted as part of the “Peckerwood gang,” Estrada confirmed. Of the 68, a total of 42 are in custody.

“The Peckerwoods are involved in a wide variety of criminal activity, from drug trafficking to fraud offenses to firearms offenses, violence and identity theft,” Estrada said. “But what truly distinguishes them is their hate and animosity to ethnic and religious minorities.”
