This group expanded to 14 members, becoming known as the “Ranfla Nacional.”Over the past 20 years, MS-13 has been responsible for numerous crimes, including drug trafficking and murder.The “Twelve Apostles of the Devil” refers to the original founders and leaders of MS-13 .
“Now that Mr. Lopez-Larios is behind bars, he’s no longer in his alleged position of power directing a reign of terror, nor enriching MS-13 and their cartel associates,” stated FBI Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge Hawkins. “The FBI will continue to collaborate with our partners to seek justice and to find the remaining fugitives of this vicious transnational criminal enterprise.”The “Twelve Apostles of the Devil” refers to the original founders and leaders of MS-13.
Under “Ranfla Nacional” leadership, MS-13 expanded its activities, including forming connections with Mexican drug cartels and engaging in human trafficking and smuggling. According to the indictment, these leaders have orchestrated violent acts, established military training camps, and procured military-grade weapons. Their operations in the U.S. involved extortion, drug trafficking, and violent crimes, with profits funneled back to leaders in El Salvador.
On Wednesday, MS-13 operates with a hierarchical structure, with local cliques reporting up to regional leaders, who in turn coordinate with the national leadership. This structure allows the gang to manage its diverse criminal activities across multiple countries. The transformation from the “Twelve Apostles of the Devil” to the “Ranfla Nacional” illustrates MS-13′s adaptation and growth as a major transnational criminal organization.MS-13 members, Jorge Alexander De La Cruz and Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, are still at large. The FBI and HSI are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to their capture. Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities.
