Black Mafia member gets 20 years. One of the key players in the notorious street drug gang known as the Black Mafia Family has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for cocaine conspiracy. Fleming Daniels of Roswell, Ga., was also fined $10,000 for his role in the gang, the focus of federal prosecution in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Louisville, Ky., Orlando, Fla., and elsewhere. The 35-year-old Daniels is the first of 16 defendants indicted in Atlanta to go to trial. Eleven entered guilty pleas. Three others are in custody and one is a fugitive. Prosecutors painted a picture of the Black Family Mafia as a societal nuisance. They said that Roswell and his cohorts moved hundreds of kilos of coke into Atlanta, Detroit, and other cities between 2002 and 2003. Daniels alone was responsible for at least 50 kilos, worth more than $1 million, they said.

Leaders of Black Mafia are sentenced.

Leaders of the Black Mafia Family, whose drug-trafficking operations spidered out across the United States over the past decade and a half, raking in tens of millions of dollars, will spend the next 30 years in prison, a federal judge in Detroit has ruled. Between 1990 and 2005, the drug-dealing brothers – 38-year-old Terry Flenory and 40-year-old Demetrius Flenory – cashed it in big-time. They left Detroit in the early 1990s and Terry, who relocated in Los Angeles, and Demetrius, who moved to Atlanta, broadened their empire through Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, California and Texas.
