U.S. marshals seize Outlaw Motorcycle Gang headqua
Post# of 63695
Feds call today’s seizure a conclusion to a massive raid back in 2012 that netted in dozens of arrests in an effort by U.S. marshals to disrupt organized crime. In an 86 page, 49-count charging document filed in July 2013, it is alleged that members of the OMC engaged in organized criminal activity in Indianapolis and across the state. The indictment charged 51 individuals associated with the Outlaws with a wide variety of offenses, including racketeering, mail fraud, money laundering, extortion, drug charges, wire fraud, witness tampering, and operating an illegal gambling operation.
“Today we’re seizing it, placing locks on it, the building, boarding it up,” said U.S. Marshal Kerry Forestal. “We’re having asbestos tests done to make sure we don’t expose it. We’ve got bomb dogs going through there to be sure nothing was left behind.”
