Seriously, armed IRS agents are not going after Average Joe American that forgot to report his 1099-INT, had his return flagged by an automated computer check program, received an automated notice of underpayment, wrote his extra check, and was done with it.
Newly unsealed indictments include RICO conspiracy, murder, and drug trafficking offenses
Two indictments were unsealed today in the District of Minnesota charging 30 members and associates of two Minneapolis-based street gangs – the Highs and the Bloods – with racketeering (RICO) conspiracy involving alleged murder, attempted murder, robbery, obstruction of justice, and drug trafficking. Additional charges include the use of a firearm to commit murder and drug trafficking. In addition to these indictments, separate charging documents have been brought against an additional 15 Highs or Bloods members on drug and gun charges.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, St. Paul Police Department, and numerous other law enforcement agencies contributed to this investigation through reports or evidence control.
