Young Thug, Gunna and 26 other people affiliated with them and YSL have been arrested tonight in a 56 count indictment in Fulton County.
According to Michael Seiden of WSBTV, Thugger is being charged with participation in street gang activity and conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Thug is also accused of renting a 2014 Infiniti Q50 which was used in the murder of a rival gang member named Donovan Thomas, Jr. It’s being alleged that two YSL members also tried to get Young Thug to attempt to murder YFN Lucci while he’s in jail.
Gunna is reportedly being charged with one count of conspiring to violate RICO.
