US authorities have charged 68 people with involvement in a neo-Nazi gang, the US Department of Justice informed on Wednesday.

This white supremacist gang was based in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. Its members "use Nazi tattoos, graffiti, and iconography to indicate their violent white supremacy extremist ideology," the respective statement reads, in part. “These tattoos and iconography include swastikas, the symbol ‘88’, used by violent white supremacy extremists as code for ‘Heil Hitler,’ and images of Nazi aircraft.”

The members of this gang are accused of drug trafficking, robbery, bank fraud, identity theft, and illegal possession of firearms, among other things.

US federal and local law enforcement have arrested 42 members of this gang.

“If convicted, the defendants would face a statutory maximum sentence of life in federal prison,” the statement added.
