International sting arrests 24 over India-based organised crime
The sting involved law enforcement officials operating in the United States, Canada and Europe, who had together been probing crime syndicates that engage in racketeering, targeted killings, shootings, extortion and drug trafficking. Dozens of people have been charged, including two who US officials say ran their global criminal syndicates while in prison in India. “Transnational criminal gangs who spread fear, drugs, and violence will face the full force of justice and the weight of the federal government,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli.
