officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The following gang members were convicted in federal court:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:

Jersey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Roberto Contreras, aka Demonio, 27, of Bound Brook<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Julian Moz-Aguilar, aka Humilde and

Chucky and Diabolico, 24, of Plainfield<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Cruz Flores, aka Bruja, 30, of Plainfield<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0Esau Ramirez, aka Panda, 25, of Plainfield<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Reyes-Villatoro, Oliva, Contreras, Moz-Aguilar, Palencia, Ramirez and Garcia were each convicted of one count of racketeering conspiracy, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Reyes-Villatoro, Oliva, Palencia and Moz-Aguilar were each convicted of one count of murder in aid of racketeering, one count of using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence and causing death through use of a firearm, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Contreras was convicted of one count of accessory after the fact to murder in aid of racketeering<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Garcia was convicted of one count of murder-for-hire conspiracy, one count of travel in interstate commerce with intent to commit murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Flores was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering and one count of murder in aid of racketeering; and Ramirez was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to evidence presented at trial, MS-13 is a transnational gang with branches or \u201ccliques\u201d operating throughout the United States, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">All of the defendants were members of the Plainfield Locos Salvatrucha Clique of MS-13, and Reyes-Villatoro, Oliva and Contreras all served as \u201cFirst Word,\u201d or leader, of the PLS Clique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to evidence presented at trial, from at least 2007 through September 2013, MS-13 members from the PLS Clique committed five murders in furtherance of MS-13.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On Feb. 9, 2009, Reyes-Villatoro, acting as the leader of the PLS Clique, drove Moz-Aguilar and other MS-13 members through the streets of Plainfield searching for rival gang members, eventually stopping at the Plainfield Train Station.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There, Moz-Aguilar used a firearm previously provided by Reyes-Villatoro to murder a victim who was believed to be a member of the Latin Kings, a rival gang.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On Feb. 27, 2010, Oliva drove a female member of MS-13 to an empty parking lot in Piscataway, New Jersey, and murdered her because she was suspected of working with law enforcement.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Oliva then fled New Jersey with the assistance of Contreras and hid from law enforcement with the MS-13 Pinos Clique in Oxon Hill, Maryland, officials said. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On Nov. 11, 2010, Palencia drove another MS-13 member to the area around Barack Obama Academy in Plainfield, where they encountered students challenging MS-13.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Palencia pulled over, handed a firearm to another MS-13 member and instructed him to shoot at one of the individuals.\u00a0 The MS-13 member shot into the crowd, killing a bystander, the evidence indicated. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On Jan. 10, 2011, Moz-Aguilar, Roberto Contreras and other MS-13 members were in a car when they spotted a suspected 18th Street gang member in front of a restaurant.\u00a0 Contreras stopped the vehicle and an MS-13 member exited, approached the suspected rival gang member and shot him in the head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> On May 8, 2011, Flores carried out an MS-13 murder on a victim who was caught socializing with 18th Street gang members.\u00a0 Flores and another MS-13 member cut the victim\u2019s throat, beat him with a bat and stabbed him in the back 17 times.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An MS-13 member involved in this murder fled New Jersey and was driven to Maryland soon after law enforcement began search for him, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Evidence at trial also showed that Garcia recruited and hired MS-13 members from the Maryland-based Pinos Clique to come to New Jersey and murder a woman in exchange for $40,000.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Pinos Clique members were arrested by authorities as they pulled into Plainfield.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After several MS-13 members were arrested in July 2011, Ramirez and Garcia used phones from inside the Union County, New Jersey, Jail to order the murder of three witnesses believed to be cooperating with police and responsible for their arrests.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to evidence presented at trial, members of the PLS Clique were responsible for an attempted murder of suspected Latin King members near a car wash in Plainfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> The attempted murder of suspected Latin King members in January 2009; a machete attack in May 2011 and another in June 2011 on the train tracks passing through Plainfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">An attempted murder shooting in Plainfield in May 2011; and several other additional violent crimes including extortion, robbery and several weapons offenses, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to these convictions, five of the 14 other defendants charged in this investigation have pleaded guilty to their roles in the racketeering conspiracy.\u00a0 One defendant remains a fugitive.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal jury Wednesday convicted eight defendants of multiple charges
