Clay Roueche, founder of the United Nations gang, so called because of its multiethnic character, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison

Prosecutors say he used a network of helicopters, planes, semi-trucks and other methods to move many tons of marijuana and cocaine and millions of dollars through Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, and expanded the gang’s influence through threats and violence. The UN has been blamed for a number of targeted killings, though Roueche was not charged with any acts of violence.
