Senior leader of transnational criminal organization MS-13 arrested after 4 years on the run, court documents say

After four years on the run, a senior leader of MS-13 – one of the largest transnational criminal organizations – was captured this month in Southern California on terrorism charges, court documents say.

Freddy Ivan Jandres-Parada was accused by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York in December 2020 of being a member of MS-13’s board of directors, known as the Ranfla Nacional, along with a dozen other MS-13 members, according to his indictment. Federal authorities have been searching for him since, offering a reward for his capture on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

Jandres-Parada was arrested on March 7 in San Diego by the FBI, according to federal officials. According to the detention order dated March 8, he waived his right to bail. CNN is working to identify a defense attorney for Jandres-Parada. Federal prosecutors charged the alleged gang members with material support of terrorism and narco-terrorism, alleging the group ran “military-style training camps; obtained weapons, handguns, rifles, grenades, improvised explosive devices (‘IEDs’) and rocket launchers,” and “directed acts of violence and murder in El Salvador, the United States and elsewhere,” according to the indictment.

Jandres-Parada is one of a dozen of the Ranfla Nacional leaders who are charged with conspiracy to provide and conceal material support and resources to terrorists, conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, conspiracy to finance terrorism and narco-terrorism conspiracy, according to the indictment.

As a member of the Ranfla Nacional, Jandres-Parada and others allegedly controlled the activities of MS-13 including approval of murders, assaults and kidnappings, extortion drug trafficking and other criminal activity, prosecutors say.

Jandres-Parada is being held at the federal jail in San Diego, according to inmate records, and will be transferred to federal custody in New York – where he was charged – to await trial.

At some point, the leadership of these gangs will wise-up...start kidnapping family members of the court/legal system, and impress upon them the realities of cartels controlling the outcomes.

That won’t do them any good. The reason the cartels are running wild in Latin America has to do with the state being hopelessly corrupt.

The Italian state was and remains pretty corrupt. But it was effective enough to put an end to the Italian Mafia’s reign of terror, in which politicians and judges (magistrates based on the Napoleonic code inherited from French rule) were killed*. One after another, Mafia kingpins were rounded up and locked away for life.

We’re not only less corrupt than Italy, we’re also less scrupulous about keeping thugs alive if they resist with armed force. And we do put these people to death if their crimes are egregious enough.

* A slightly fictionalized 1990’s Italian production about the targeting of an Italian magistrate is available on Tubi.

Arrested? Those dogs need to be shot on sight. Eradication of that virus is necessary.

Charge him with Parading and Entering a Restricted Area and try him in a DC court. That’ll keep him behind bars for at least 20 years. /s
