Gunna Denied Bail In The Atlanta RICO Case Against YSL

Gunna and Young Thug were unexpectedly caught and imprisoned on RICO charges just a few weeks ago. There are currently 28 YSL members in prison, and the situation does not appear to be favorable for anyone involved. However, prosecutors have charged Young Thug of being the ringleader of YSL, and they believe he was in the planning of several violent actions.

The rapper found himself in it all, and he and his lawyer appeared before a court to request release. He wasn’t given bond, according to reporter Jewel Wicker, while his trial date got scheduled for January 9th, 2023. However, he’s currently suspected of being a YSL commander who played a key role in a number of violent incidents.

“I was just in court where a judge denied bond for Gunna and set his trial date for Jan. 9, 2023. Prosecutors allege YSL is a gang, not just a record label. They also alleged Gunna serves in a “command” role,” Wicker stated. “Prosecutors said Gunna is a “documented” gang member and that he and Williams “direct their troops” to commit violent acts. The judge said his biggest concern was witness tampering. Gunna’s attorney can file a renewed motion for bond at a later date.”

Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis warned during a press conference on Tuesday that members of street gangs will face criminal charges.

“As the District Attorney of Fulton County my number one focus is targeting gangs, and there’s a reason for that, they are committing conservatively 75 to 80% of all of the violent crime that we are seeing within our community and so they have to be rooted out of our community,” she stated. “It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is if you come to Fulton County Georgia and you commit crimes, and certainly if those crimes are in furtherance of street gangs that you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney’s office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
