Extradited MS-13 member gets 35-year sentence

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A member of the MS-13 street gang who was extradited from El Salvador to the U.S. to face charges has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for an attempted murder.

Federal prosecutors said after Friday’s sentencing that the case is significant because it marks the first time that a Salvadoran citizen has been extradited to the U.S. to face charges for gang-related activity.
