Frank Lucas: American drug trafficker

Frank Lucas was an American drug trafficker who operated in Harlem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was known for cutting out middlemen in the drug trade and buying heroin directly from his source in the Golden Triangle. According to Lucas, he built his drug empire by smuggling 98-percent-pure heroin from Vietnam to the U.S. in the coffins of fallen soldiers.

Authorities seized over $500k in cash when they raided his house in New Jersey in 1975. He was convicted and sentenced to decades in prison, but he turned informant and was released after about five years.

Lucas inspired the 2007 movie "American Gangster." He died May 31 at age 88 in New Jersey.

£20m of cocaine seized from a van on the M6

Two drug kingpins have been jailed after cocaine with a street value of £20m was seized from a van on the M6 in Cheshire. A total of 21 people were convicted from gangs led by Jamie Simpson, 31, and Jamie Oldroyd, 29. They were put away for 11 years and 14 years respectively.

The gang was involved in supplying cocaine across the UK and led "cash-rich" lives, but their lavish lifestyles led to their arrests. A video filmed on a phone shows Oldroyd and Taluant Paja, 22, who was jailed for six years, counting out an estimated £150,000 in cash on a coffee table where Rolex watches can also be seen. "They were carefree. There was an arrogance to them and they led a bit of a gangster lifestyle."

Bust of Aryan Brotherhood in California prisons

The feds announced charges targeting the 'Aryan Brotherhood' one of California's most notorious white nationalist prison gangs. Charges against 16 have been unsealed. An undercover DEA agent maps out an organized crime network that orchestrated killings, weapons smuggling and drug trafficking across multiple states.

9 of the 16 defendants named in the criminal complaint are already serving out sentences in prison for separate crimes. The complaint gives detailed insight into the Aryan Brotherhood’s expansion since its formation in 1964 into its status as California’s most dominant white nationalist prison gang. The Aryan Brotherhood operates on a 'blood-in, blood-out' policy. Full membership requires blood and leaving comes only with death.
