TBD is reporting that Carlos Silva, also known as Cangri, 28, of Takoma Park has been indicted with ten other members of the MS-13 gang on charges including federal racketeering, murder, assault and attacking rival gang members.

The 35-count indictment, unsealed Wednesday, details murders, stabbings, beatings and assaults from 2008 and 2010. The charges expand on an earlier indictment against four of the named defendants and adds seven more while also expanding allegations against the gang.
