\"\"A New Jersey man was sentenced to life in prison Friday for murder, drug trafficking along with other felony crimes, federal officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miguel Angel Corea Diaz aka Reaper, 41, of Long Branch, a leader in the transnational criminal enterprise La Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13, was convicted by a federal jury on Nov. 23, 2021, after a four-week trial. <\/span><\/p>\n

Co-defendant Junior Noe Alvarado-Requeno aka Insolente and Trankilo, 24, of Landover, Maryland, was also convicted at trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

He faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"According to court documents, MS-13 is a transnational gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants from El Salvador. MS-13 has branches or \u201ccliques\u201d that operate throughout Frederick County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George\u2019s County, and Montgomery County, Maryland and elsewhere on the East Coast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe brutality of Corea Diaz is almost unfathomable,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron for the District of Maryland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs members of MS-13, Corea Diaz and his co-conspirators were ruthless and showed no regard for human life by extorting innocent people, tampering with witnesses, and ordering a murder over a drug dispute,\u201d said Assistant Director in Charge Steven M. D\u2019Antuono of the FBI Washington Field Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"According to evidence presented at trial, between 2015 and 2018, Corea Diaz and his co-defendant Alvarado-Requeno controlled and operated the Sailors Locos Salvatruchos Westside (S.L.S.W. or Sailors) Clique. <\/span><\/p>\n

This Sailors Clique was involved in a host of significant criminal activity including murder, extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, and witness tampering. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence showed that the gang ran a \u201cprotection\u201d scheme in and around its home base in Langley Park, Maryland, and extorted local businesses by charging them \u201crent\u201d for the privilege of operating in MS-13 \u201cterritory.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The gang also trafficked in illegal drugs, including heroin and cocaine. <\/span><\/p>\n

A large share of the proceeds of the gang\u2019s illegal activities were sent to gang leadership in El Salvador using structured transactions and intermediaries to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to evidence presented at trial, the Sailors Clique committed acts of violence against suspected rival gang members, as well as against its own membership for breaking gang rules<\/span><\/p>\n

In March 2017, a member of the Sailors Clique who was hiding from law enforcement in the Lynchburg, Virginia, area had a dispute with a local high school student over marijuana. <\/span><\/p>\n

In response, Corea-Diaz and Alvarado-Requeno organized a squad of MS-13 members to drive down to Lynchburg and murder the minor. <\/span><\/p>\n

The gang members kidnapped the student from his front lawn and cut his hand off before killing him. <\/span><\/p>\n

After the murder, Corea Diaz and Alvarado-Requeno helped to hide and protect the killers from law enforcement, federal officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
