The DOJ charged 37 members of an India-based gang in Operation Hardball.
The indictment targets a transnational criminal network allegedly involved in kidnapping, murder-for-hire, and drug trafficking with U.S. operations — part of a growing DOJ focus on India-linked organized crime.
The 1970 RICO Act, built to fight the Mafia, now targets global street gangs.
Passed as part of the Organized Crime Control Act, RICO lets feds charge entire criminal organizations — not just individuals. It's been used against MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, and dozens of transnational gangs.
