The US police raid the gang of bikers-killer "Mongols": more than 60 arrests

The United States police staged a large -scale raid in several states at once to neutralize a powerful biker gang. Members of the Mongol group are suspected of murders, attempts and serious bodily harm.

Mass detention of bikers were carried out on Tuesday immediately in six states, and the arrest of monocyclic bandits was the result of a three-year special investigation "Black Rain", the Associated Press reports. During this time, special services agents were introduced into the gang.

In total, up to a thousand law enforcement officials participated in the operation, writes The Los Angeles Times . To date, at least 61 suspects of more than a hundred accused have been arrested.

The “Mongols”, among other things, are charged with racketeering, money laundering, as well as illegal storage of drugs and weapons. Bikers are easily recognizable on the streets and are able to horror on their opponents. Usually they move to the choppers and strive to be like their idol Genghis Khan and his army, attaching a tail from a pony to the motorcycle.

As a weapon for reprisals with objectionable, bikers used pistols, knives, pieces of reinforcement, brass knuckles and heavy boots with metal overlays. In the indictment consisting of 177 pages, it is said that the victims of the "Mongols" were not only their competitors from the "angels of hell", but also random people.

Only on the first three pages of the prosecution 79 "Mongols" involved in cruel crimes are mentioned. Some of them wear such ominous nicknames as Monster, Danger and Violent ED (monster, thunderstorm and cruel Ed).

Among the most high -profile crimes, a skirmish with the "angels of hell" in the casino of the city of Laflin in Nevada, which occurred back in 2002, is mentioned - then one "Mongol" and two representatives of a competing motorcycle club was killed. In 2005, the "Mongols" "were noted" in the store "Toys for kids", and in 2007 - committed a crime in the cinema of the Chuck E. Cheese network located in San Diego.

African -Americans became random victims of the Mongols, since racist beliefs flourish among bikers. In 2007, on the day of all lovers, motorcyclists nicknamed Villain and Danger (villain and thunderstorm) were scored to the death of a person at the Lancaster night club. The deceased allegedly insulted the "Mongols".

Another "Mongol" is accused of opening the shooting at the clients of the Riverside bar, and then tried to crush them. Finally, the biker named Dago Bull (bull-item) and completely admitted that, together with two henchmen, he tortured a person in 2006. The attackers broke the victim of the joints with pliers, and also killed a knee with a metal pipe.

Another member of the group announced the beating, after which he took the knocked out his enemy tooth and attached him to the microwave as a souvenir.

Finally, the Mongol Monster with two accomplices beat an African American in one of the Hollywood bars in 2006. At the same time, he shouted racist slogans. And other bikers defeated the Latin American only because she talked with a black man.

The gang responded conspiracy

Almost the entire leadership of the "Mongols" was taken into custody. We are talking about the largest arrest in the history of the United States. In total, in the framework of the investigation of the Mongols case, about 110 federal arrest orders were issued in the six states, representatives of law enforcement agencies of California said, where the majority of the Mongols live.

The success of the operation has become possible thanks to four special services employees who worked in a gang undercover. In addition, agents managed to recruit four “Mongols” who became informants.

It is noteworthy that the "Mongols" suspiciously reacted to beginners and at first checked them on a lie detector and "pierced" their data through a private detective. Only after that in 2007 they were allowed in a gang.

Among the collected evidence were records of telephone conversations of bikers, which they usually lead in an encoded language. It is assumed that in these conversations, motorcyclists agreed on new crimes.

According to representatives of the police, now they will through the court to seek a ban on the use of the symbolism of the Mongol motorcycle club, who tunned itself with especially serious crimes. If the court agrees with the position of the prosecution, then the appearance on the street in a jacket with the symbols of the Mongols or riding a motorcycle wearing the distinctive signs of this group will be considered an offense, the prosecutor Thomas O'Brien explained.

“We are fighting not only against specific bikers, but also with the very symbols of the Mongol motorcycle club,” the prosecutor added. “We use all the means to destroy this cruel gang.”

Sexual perversions helped to "rise" in the gang

This biker group was formed in the 1970s in the San Gabriel Valley in the southern part of California and, according to some reports, it arose in contrast to the famous "Angels of Hell", who did not take into their ranks of the Spanish-speaking Americans. In total, there are up to 600 Mongols in the United States, mainly Latin American origin.

The "Mongols" have not only special paraphernalia, but also the charter and list of commandments. Gang members provide Nextel phones for communication. The decision to accept new members is made by the leadership of the "Mongols", which is the so -called maternal council (Mother Chapter).

The headquarters of the "Mongols" was located in the city of West-Kovina, 20 kilometers east of Los Angeles. At the same time, the gang’s residence was guarded by bandits in body armor, armed shotgun and rifles, the indictment says.

Like many informal groups, among the "Mongols" there are special rules for wearing symbols that speaks of a certain status in a gang. For example, the image of a skull with bones or the motto of the Respect Few, Fear None ("A little respect, no fear") have the right to wear only those who committed the murder or took part in other violent shares of the "Mongols".

One of the members of the group received the right to apply status tattoos on his shaved head only after he shot two people from a competing gang.

Some symbols are associated with the special sexual rituals of the "Mongols". Images of multi-colored wings mean that this "Mongol" participated in a special gangster sex, the so-called Wing Party, where he had sex with women.

For sex with a partner suffering from a sexually transmitted disease, the right to wearing green wings is given. For necrophilia, or sexual intercourse with a corpse, purple wings are awarded in the gang.

The main source of income "Mongols" is the trade of methamphetamine. As a result, many transactions for the sales of this drug were recorded, and in some of them, parties of a potion weighing 0.5 kilograms appeared.

A real cult of violence flourished in the gang. One of the newcomers stated that if he wants to be accepted on Wednesday of the Mongols, he must be ready to kill and be killed for their interests.
