HOUSTON (AP) - Officials say 25 people identified by investigators as gang members or associates have been indicted for their alleged roles in a South Texas drug and money laundering ring.
Federal investigators in Houston on Friday announced the 27-count superseding indictment linked to the Tri-City Bombers. Officials say the defendants - from Texas, Ohio and Minnesota - face counts including racketeering, drug distribution and money laundering.
Prosecutors say the suspects are accused of taking part in a multistate drug ring operating since 2009 and blamed for murder, attempted murder and robbery.
The superseding indictment was returned March 30 by a federal jury in Houston and unsealed Thursday.
Officials say two dozen of the suspects were in custody as of Friday.
