High-ranking MS-13 leader arraigned on terrorism charges in federal court
Fredy Ivan Jandres-Parada, also known as “Lucky de Park View,” was arraigned on Friday at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York, and is facing serious terrorism charges as a leading figure in the notorious MS-13 gang.
This indictment, led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, accuses Jandres-Parada of directing the gang’s criminal activities across the United States, El Salvador, Mexico and other locations.
Jandres-Parada, who has been a fugitive since being indicted in December 2020, was recently captured by the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations. He is charged with multiple offenses, including conspiracy to provide and conceal material support to terrorists and conspiracy to finance terrorism. His capture marks a significant achievement in the ongoing effort to dismantle MS-13’s operations.
