SANTA ANA — The Aryan Brotherhood launched a campaign a decade ago to become the most powerful criminal organization in the world, a former high-ranking member of the prison gang told a federal jury today.
Little was gained in the campaign, one-time Aryan Brotherhood head councilor Kevin Roach admitted upon cross-examination by lawyers representing four men accused of being top leaders of the gang.
Roach said that Barry Byron Mills, who with Tyler Bingham faces a possible death sentence if convicted at the Santa Ana trial, had connections with the leaders of some of the world’s most notorious criminal organizations.
“The Hells Angels, the Italian Mafia, the Mexican and Colombian drug cartels” were among the criminal organizations that Mills was known to have offered the Aryan Brotherhood’s protection in prison, Roach said.
Roach, an imprisoned twice-convicted killer from a tough Irish neighborhood in Boston, wore a T-shirt and showed heavily tattooed forearms while testifying in a New England accent.
He said the scheme to become an international crime organization seemed workable.
“The leaders of all the crime organizations come to prison. On the streets they’re comfortable but in prison their safety nets are gone. We control what happens inside prison,” he said.
The Mexican Mafia, often allied with the Aryan Brotherhood, regularly collected payments from Mexican American street gangs and that was seen as a model to take on a worldwide scale, he said.
No criminal empire could stand against the Aryan Brotherhood, Roach said.
“If they don’t have our protection their organizations will crumble because nobody will risk coming in here,” he said, referring to how someone would face certain death in prison without protection from the Aryan Brotherhood.
Roach said he had known Nicodemo “Little Nicky” Scarfo, the one-time head of the Mafia’s crime family in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N.J. They served time together in the early 1990s. Scarfo agreed to have freed Aryan Brotherhood members train in organized-crime tactics outside of prison in return for his protection inside prison.
