The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Northern California officials are charging 55 defendants in connection with the Nuestra Familia criminal organization.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed \u201cOperation Quiet Storm,\u201d the investigation was revealed to the public on Thursday and includes allegations of racketeering, robberies, drug crimes and murder. Seven of the defendants allegedly performed their crimes from behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>Acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California Stephanie Hinds explained the role of the incarcerated gang members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NF\u2019s general council consists of three generals and four senior members who serve as an inner council. Together, these seven individuals make up the NF\u2019s command structure,\u201d announced Hinds.<\/p>\n<p>The imprisoned individuals acted as puppet masters directing the actions of possibly thousands of individuals outside their prison walls. By moving the command structure from state to federal prisons, law enforcement said they believe they\u2019ve cut the head off of the Nuestra Familia snake.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Operation Quiet Storm was the culmination of more than 5 years of complex investigative work.
