According to the FBI, the Maniac Latin Disciples operated a criminal enterprise that profited from drug trafficking and armed robberies and employing violence through multiple shootings.
Dozens of law enforcement agents participated in the operation.
FBO seized vehicles, weapons, body armor, ammunition, more than 40-pounds of marijuana and cocaine. In addition, over $80,000 in cash was seized from 20 different locations in Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
"We've arrested a good portion of the gang," Special Agent Justin Tolomeo tells CBS 58 News. "Obviously there are still aspects of the investigation which are on going.
