Tampa Bay Crime Boss, Niko Pandetta, was indicted yesterday on racketeering, conspiracy, and murder charges related to the activities of his criminal organization. The charges stem from a long-term investigation by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. If convicted, Pandetta faces life in prison.

Pandetta and his associates allegedly committed numerous violent crimes, including 14 murders. The indictment alleges that Pandetta ordered or participated in the murders, as well as other crimes such as extortion, drug trafficking, and gambling.
