What YSL is accused of doing
Members of "Young Slime Life" or YSL for short have been accused of several things ranging from murder to theft and drug possession.
The group allegedly "conspired to associate and with others for the common purposes of illegally obtaining money and property through a pattern of racketeering activity and conducting and participating in the enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity," according to an indictment obtained by Atlanta's Fox affiliate.
Jeffery Lamar Williams, known professionally as Young Thug, was charged with participation in criminal street activity and conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, charges his lawyers have denied.
"Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever," his lawyer Brian Steel said, adding that he will "fight till his last drop of blood to clear him."
Kitchens was also accused of conspiracy to violate the state’s RICO act and was later arrested on May 11, 2022.
"It does not matter what your notoriety is or what your fame is," Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said at a news conference.
"If you come to Fulton County, Georgia and you commit crimes - and certainly if those crimes are in furtherance of a street gang - then you will become a target and focus of this district attorney's office and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."
