And within the walls of Calipatria State Prison in Imperial County and the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, Lerma exacted a “thirds” tax of all narcotics smuggled into and sold within the facilities, the indictment says. The new indictment, however, describes Lerma as a “full” member of the Mexican Mafia who, since at least 2012, has taxed drug dealers in Pomona and its surrounding neighborhoods under fear of assault or death. Prison officials classified Lerma as a member of the Mexican Mafia in 1995, but he has contested this characterization, telling the parole board, “I’ve always denied being a member of any prison gang or being involved in any prison gang.” He has ever since been serving a sentence of 15 years to life for murder. In 1982, Lerma shot to death a man in Sacramento County who had robbed him of heroin and a power tool.

While serving a five-year term, Lerma acknowledged that “for lack of a better phrase, I learned how to think and be a convict.” He was released in 1979, having heard from other inmates about “selling and dealing drugs, making money - fast, easy money,” he told the board, “and that’s what I decided to do.” “Myself, personally, I’ll tell you I was a big embarrassment to the Marine Corps,” he told the parole board. He joined the Pomona 12th Street gang at 12, dropped out of school after the 11th grade and joined the Marines, but he was kicked out after committing a murder at 18. Lerma, whose attorney had no immediate comment on the new indictment, has twice been convicted of murder, according to parole transcripts reviewed by The Times. Upon being inducted into the organization, members of the Mexican Mafia - nearly all of whom are imprisoned - retain control of their original gangs, taxing their rackets and directing their members to commit extortion, assaults and murders, law enforcement authorities say. The Mexican Mafia comprises about 140 men drawn from the top ranks of Southern California’s Latino street gangs. There’s clearly a demand for more Mafia games which led to the excellent remakes of the original Mafia and Mafia 2.The indictment, which broadens an earlier one filed three years ago, describes a system by which the Mexican Mafia wrings a “tax,” or cut of profits, from drug dealers and other criminals by harnessing the loyalty of Latino gang members on California’s streets and within its prisons. Despite the divisive reception, it managed to become a commercial success and sell over seven million copies worldwide across all platforms. Some outlets praised the strong storytelling but called the visuals flat and open-world gameplay tedious.
