Mexican Mafia’s Prison Racketeering Trial | Orange County News

Two guys just got convicted of murder for carrying out an armed robbery on orders from the Mexican Mafia — the prison power players pulling strings from behind bars. Facing life without parole, their conviction opens the door for prosecutors to go after the real bosses: Johnny Martinez, allegedly running the gang in Orange County, and Gregory Muñoz, the alleged middleman. The botched 2017 robbery in Placentia ended in a fatal shooting, and this case is part of a massive federal crackdown targeting 31 gang members across a range of crimes — already 15 convicted. Muñoz’s trial is set for July 2027, while Martinez and six others face trial in August 2027. Prosecutors are sending a clear message: this violence won’t be tolerated.
