Episode 44: The History of MS-13

The Black Hand: An Organized Crime History Podcast

On Episode 44, we delve into the history of MS-13, really one of the most notorious Latino gangs in the US and possibly even the world, and though they got their start in Los Angeles in the mid to late 1970's as a group of satanic stoners, they have since been able to foster a considerable presence in the US, and have essentially taken over El Salvador and other parts of Central America, and though they make up less than 1% of gang membership in the US, its through their incredible brutality that they've been able to maintain their notoriety. I hope everyone enjoys today's episode, and tunes back in next week for Episode 45.
