帮派Trinitarios毒品供应商认罪：受墨西哥贩毒集团指使组织谋杀未遂、量刑明年1月宣判
美国司法部麻州地区联邦检察官办公室10月14日宣布，帮派Trinitarios在 Lynn 分会的关联人员、为该帮派供应毒品的 Janoy Batista（47岁，别名「El Viejo」）已于10月7日在波士顿（Boston）联邦法院认罪，罪名包括以敲诈勒索模式经营企业的共谋（RICO共谋）与毒品共谋。他被指组织了一起由墨西哥贩毒集团授意的谋杀未遂。联邦高级地区法官 Nathaniel M. Gorton 将量刑日期定于2027年1月7日。Batista 于2025年2月与该帮派其他头目、成员及关联人员一同被捕并被起诉。
司法部表示，Trinitarios 是一个暴力犯罪组织，在全美有数千名成员，内部奉行一份称为「大宪章」（Magna Carta）的章程，以等级结构协调、实施暴力，并采取大量措施保守组织及成员身份的秘密。Batista 在认罪听证会上承认，他是该帮派的关联人员，为帮派供应来自墨西哥哈利斯科新世代贩毒集团（CJNG）的毒品：CJNG 用运车卡车把大量可卡因与芬太尼运到麻州 Lynn 交给他，他再把毒品分发给 Trinitarios 成员。
Batista 还承认，2023年11月，CJNG 指使他杀死一名被集团怀疑偷走大量毒品的本地毒品联系人，并表明只有完成此事才能继续收到毒品供应。同月，他用一名 Trinitarios 成员的车辆组织了这次谋杀未遂：在 Salem，两名枪手向坐在自家车道车内联系人开枪、多次击中对方；事后 Batista 接上枪手与司机，把他们送到一处由该帮派控制的公寓。受害人最终生还。
据司法部介绍，2025年2月，联邦检方解封了对 Trinitarios 22名头目与成员的敲诈勒索指控，该调查源于2023年在 Lynn 发生的四起谋杀以及一系列谋杀未遂与枪击事件；2026年6月9日，检方再解封对该帮派 Lawrence、Haverhill 与 Boston 分会26名头目、成员及关联人员的敲诈勒索与毒品指控。按法庭文件，该帮派自2017年以来在 Essex County 另涉五起谋杀，被联邦起诉的谋杀总数达11起，被告总数达56人。RICO 共谋罪名最高可判终身监禁、五年监督释放及最高25万美元罚款，实际刑期由联邦法官按量刑指南与相关法律裁定。案件由联邦检察官 Leah B. Foley 等宣布，助理联邦检察官 Philip A. Mallard 负责起诉，属国土安全特别工作组（HSTF）案件。

Trinitarios Drug Supplier Pleads Guilty: Organized Attempted Murder at Mexican Cartel's Direction, Sentencing Set for January
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts announced on October 14 that Janoy Batista, 47, also known as "El Viejo," an associate of the Lynn Chapter of the Trinitarios gang and a drug supplier to the gang, pleaded guilty on October 7 in federal court in Boston to conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity (RICO conspiracy) and drug conspiracy, including organizing an attempted murder that the gang undertook on behalf of a Mexican drug cartel. U.S. Senior District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for January 7, 2027. Batista was arrested and charged in February 2025 alongside other leaders, members and associates of the Trinitarios.
According to the Justice Department, the Trinitarios is a violent criminal enterprise with thousands of members across the United States, adhering to a Magna Carta and employing an internal hierarchy to coordinate and execute violence while undertaking extensive efforts to maintain the secrecy of the organization and its members. At his plea hearing, Batista admitted that he was an associate of the gang and supplied it with drugs from Cartel Jalisco Nuevo Generacion (CJNG): CJNG shipped large quantities of cocaine and fentanyl to Batista in Lynn, Massachusetts, using car transport trucks, and he distributed the cocaine and fentanyl to Trinitarios members.
Batista further admitted that in November 2023, CJNG tasked him with killing a local drug contact whom the cartel believed had stolen a large quantity of drugs, indicating that he would be required to carry out the killing in order to continue receiving shipments. That month, Batista organized the failed murder attempt using a Trinitarios member's vehicle: in Salem, two shooters opened fire on the contact as he sat in his driveway, striking him multiple times, after which Batista picked up the shooters and the driver and drove them to an apartment controlled by the gang. The victim survived.
The department said federal racketeering charges were unsealed in February 2025 against 22 leaders and members of the Trinitarios, following an investigation that began in the aftermath of four murders and a series of attempted murders and shootings in Lynn in 2023; on June 9, 2026, additional racketeering and drug charges were unsealed against 26 more leaders, members and associates of the gang's Lawrence, Haverhill and Boston chapters. According to court documents, the gang has allegedly participated in five additional murders in Essex County since 2017, bringing the total of federally charged murders to 11 and the total number of federally charged defendants to 56. The RICO conspiracy charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison, five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000, with the actual sentence to be imposed by a federal judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and governing statutes. U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley and other officials made the announcement; Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip A. Mallard is prosecuting the case, which is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative.
