The suspects were sometimes engaged in community fundraising while at the same time committing acts of crime, Horn said. One recruit was killed for refusing to attend a community clean-up.
According to Horn, 30 of the 32 indicted have been taken into custody. The Georgia indictment charges individuals in Atlanta, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Marietta, Valdosta and Macon, as well as other cities across the country. Two charged remain at large.
Many of those in custody are scheduled to make a court appearance on Wednesday, Horn said.
The suspects could face life in prison on the federal charges. Many of them also face state cahrges.
