COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A federal grand jury has indicted 40 people in what officials are calling the “largest federal racketeering conspiracy in South Carolina history.”
The indictment claims members of the Insane Gangster Disciples “ran a drug empire from prison using contraband cell phones and other means.”
Several defendants who were inmates at the time of the crimes were being held in the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC). Officials said they used cell phones they obtained illegally in prison to coordinate the crimes with those on the outside.
