An indictment was unsealed in Central Islip today, charging 14 of the world’s highest-ranking MS-13 gang leaders with terrorism offenses in the United States.

The leaders, who are known today as the Ranfla Nacional, operated as the organization’s board of directors, and directed MS-13’s violence and criminal activity around the world for almost two decades, according to officials.

The indictment specifically charges the defendants with conspiracy to provide and conceal material support to terrorists, conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, conspiracy to finance terrorism, and narco-terrorism conspiracy in connection with the defendants’ leadership of the transnational criminal organization over the past two decades from El Salvador, the United States, Mexico and elsewhere.

Defendant Borromeo Enrique Henriquez, aka “Diablito de Hollywood,” has been identified as the most powerful member of the Ranfla Nacional. Three of the indicted defendants, Fredy Ivan Jandres-Parada, aka “Lucky de Park View” and “Lacky de Park View,” Cesar Humberto Lopez-Larios, aka “El Grenas de Stoners” and “Oso de Stoners,” and Hugo Armando Quinteros-Mineros, aka “Flaco de Francis,” remain at large and should be considered armed and dangerous, according to officials. 

Members of the public with information concerning their whereabouts are strongly encouraged to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s tip line at 1-866-787-6713.

Together, FBI and HSI have offered $20,000 in rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of each of the three fugitives.

Henriquez and 10 other defendants are in custody in El Salvador.

Officials say the United States will explore options for their extradition to the U.S. with the government of El Salvador.
