his own gang. Michael the MostcaTorres f Life was killed around nine am
Thursday by fellow prisoners at California StatePrison, Sacramento. The three men involve
rolso life sentences. Both suspects,who are not related, appeared to be

(01:03):
affiliated with the Mexican mafia or subsidiaries. One of the men was identified in
La Times reporters a Mexican Mafia member. The other had a tattoo on his
neck of the number thirteen, assembledfor both the Mexican Mafia and his primary
offshoot, the Sudenio Gang. I'lltalk a little bit more about that in
a minute. Taurres was widely knownas a moneymaker for the notorious Prison Gang,

which controls multimillion dollar drug fraud,robbery and extortion rackets. He had
business interests in the San Fernando Valley, as well as alleged involved in a
large heroin rings inside and outside ofprison. In twenty nineteen, Tours was

claustrophobia. Prosecutors rebutted the motion byarguing that tourist was a danger to others

Mafia, Mexican Mafia, known asa La m Eme or M is a
prison gang and network of criminal gangsoperating in southern California. It is known
as the Them. The thirteenth laterthe Spanish alphabet M signifies the Mexican Mafia.

the group now has Florida from hasgrown from one hundred and forty to over
four hundred actual members. Estimate mA associates and affiliate numbers about forty thousand.
The group is active in prisons andit's considered a correctional security threat group.

known as the Lefamidia cartel or LaFamilia mich Marcata, which we saw to

of the most powerful prison jail gangsin the US.
