On July 25, 2007, the U.S. Attorney for the United states District Court for the Northern District of Georgia unveiled an indictment of 16 more members of the Black Mafia Family. "The government is one step closer to eradicating one of today's most violent and notorious drug trafficking organizations," said special Agent in Charge Rodney G. Benson of the DEA Atlanta office. The indictment charged all defendants with participating in the nationwide cocaine distribution conspiracy, which carries a penalty of between 10 years and life in prison, and up to a $4 million fine.
"The Black Mafia Family once had billboards towering over Atlanta boldly proclaiming that the world was theirs," U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said. "This indictment is a rejection of that claim. First in Detroit and Orlando, and now here, the government is shutting down the BMF's once-flourishing drug empire.
