Summary
Twenty-six alleged Trinitarios leaders, members and associates were charged in Boston with RICO conspiracy, in what federal authorities said decimated the gang’s Massachusetts leadership.
Five murders and 19 attempted murders underpin the case, with the FBI saying some of those arrested were directly responsible for the violence.
Essex County is at the center of the allegations, which prosecutors said span Trinitarios chapters in Lawrence, Haverhill and Boston after a two-year investigation.
Fifty-six Trinitarios members had already been charged before Tuesday’s announcement, part of a broader federal effort to dismantle the New York City-founded gang in Massachusetts.
