The FBI had obtained a chain of evidence of illegal drug trafficking by the Carnation Club, and carried out a predesigned lightning-fast operation that directly took down the Biker Gang's industry and sealed off the stores.
Involved in the case were up to 27 gang leaders, with illegal enterprises including small workshop factories in two suburbs, large greenhouses for plants, as well as apartment real estate, with 107 lower-level members suspected of transactions, and '260,000' US Dollars in illicit funds.
This also included investigations being opened against several Police Chiefs and one Deputy Chief.
The Deputy Chief wanted to flee by car but was intercepted and detained by his own police officers. The officers turned state witnesses, confessing to the bribery and other deeds, and were bound to receive a lighter sentence after the investigation.
