Federal prosecutors are gunning to take down the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Tekashi 6ix9ine and his former associates are possibly facing life imprisonment if convicted of the racketeering and firearms charges they were slapped with upon their arrest two weeks ago. The prosecutors already said that the charges they face wouldn't be the last and now, one of 6ix9ine's former crew members is facing additional drug charges.

According to The Blast, Mel Murda has been slapped with even more charges in the federal case against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The prosecutors have another narcotics charge and intent to distribute a controlled substance charge. The prosecutors claim Murda was essentially the plug and a main member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, accusing him of moving a substantial amount of heroin, fentanyl, and MDMA.

6ix9ine wasn't indicted on these charges, but Mel is currently facing additional life sentences if he's convicted of the new charges.

Things aren't looking good for Murda Mel overall. Over the past 24 hours, recovered audio footage of wiretapped phone calls between Murda Mel and other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods surfaced. In the first call, Mel's heard speaking to Shotti, suggesting that they would "violate" 6ix9ine. Earlier today, another transcript from a wiretapped call surfaced of Mel speaking to an unidentified gang member about the shooting that took place during 50 Cent's "Get The Strap" music video shoot, seemingly confirming that the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods had a role in it.
