Cocaine indictment targets south suburban men
A federal grand jury charged 12 individuals with operating a cocaine distribution ring that moved at least 100 kilograms across Chicago and south suburbs between 1980 and 1991. Among the defendants are Christopher Messino and Clement Messino, plus several relatives, all tied to transporting, buying, or selling cocaine and facing life in prison and multi‑million dollar fines if convicted. The probe, launched with multiple federal and local agencies, resulted in seizure efforts including real estate, vehicles, boats, and approximately 1 million dollars in assets.
