The boss of the Chicago-based Latin Kings street gang was sentenced Thursday to 60 years in prison following his conviction last year on federal charges of racketeering and drug trafficking, in which he used murder, attempted murder, assault and extortion to protect his turf.

Augustin Zambrano, 51, a “Corona” of the “Almighty Latin King Nation,” oversaw the illegal activities of all factions of the powerful street gang with some 10,000 members in Illinois alone. He has been in federal custody since 2009 and must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence.

During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle in Chicago cited Zambrano’s extensive criminal record of violent offenses and his lack of remorse for the victims.

The Latin Kings have operated in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia for the past several years.
