LOS ANGELES, CA.- “Tonight’s California Federal Crime Report highlights a troubling cross-section of serious federal offenses impacting public safety and national security. Federal prosecutors are pursuing cases involving alleged espionage tied to sensitive information, large-scale dark web drug trafficking operations fueling illegal narcotics distribution, complex real estate fraud schemes targeting investors and homeowners, and violent assaults on federal law enforcement officers in the line of duty. Together, these cases underscore the breadth of federal criminal enforcement across California—and the escalating risks posed by organized, technologically sophisticated, and violent criminal activity.”
