A
federal grand jury in the District of Nebraska returned an additional
indictment charging 31 individuals for their roles in a large conspiracy to
deploy malware and steal millions of dollars from ATMs in the United States, a
crime commonly referred to as “ATM jackpotting.” Fifty-six others have already
been charged. Many of the defendants charged in this Homeland Security Task
Force operation are Venezuelan and Colombian nationals including illegal alien
Tren de Aragua (TdA) members. This indictment alleges 32 counts including
conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank burglary and
computer fraud, bank fraud, bank burglary, and damage to computers.
“Tren de Aragua is a complex terrorist
organization that commits serious financial crimes in addition to horrific
rapes, murders, and drug trafficking,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
“This Department of Justice has already prosecuted more than 290 members of
Tren de Aragua and will continue working tirelessly to put these vicious
terrorists behind bars after the prior administration let them infiltrate our
country.”
“A large ring of criminal aliens allegedly
engaged in a nationwide conspiracy to enrich themselves and the TdA terrorist
organization by ripping off American citizens," said Deputy Attorney
General Todd Blanche. "After committing bank robbery, fraud, and other
serious crimes, they will be vigorously prosecuted and held accountable for
their crimes. The Justice Department’s Joint Task Force Vulcan will not stop
until it completely dismantles and destroys TdA and other foreign terrorists
that import chaos to America.”
