Former NFL running back Derek Loville was among 22 people named in a federal indictment accusing the group of drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, sports gambling and money laundering.
According to Veronica Rocha of the Los Angeles Times, former USC tight end Owen Hanson allegedly led a drug ring that had operations in the United States, Mexico and Australia:
Using a network of runners and bookies that spanned both U.S. coasts, wagers were accepted on major football and baseball games. Kenny Hilinski, an expatriate who lived in Peru, was responsible for gambling operations, prosecutors said.
