'The brutality of Corea Diaz is almost unfathomable,' U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron said Friday in a statement.
Miguel Angel Corea Diaz, 41, also known as Reaper, was accused along with his co-defendant Junior Noe Alvarado-Requeno of controlling and operating Sailors Locos Salvatruchos Westside, one of the gang's"cliques," between 2015 and 2018. According to the Justice Department, the Maryland-based clique was involved in"a host of significant criminal activity including murder, extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, and witness tampering.
Prosecutors also argued that in 2017, Corea-Diaz and Alvarado-Requeno helped kidnap and murder a high school student because of a"dispute" the student had with a MS-13 member over marijuana. A group of MS-13 members, who were organized by Corea-Diaz and Alvarado-Requeno, abducted the student on his front lawn, cut his hand off and killed him. Corea-Diaz and Alvarado-Requeno then"helped to hide and protect the killers from law enforcement," according to the Justice Department.
