Biker gang leader 'Scarface' sent to prison for 37 years - dailytribune.com: "Aref 'Scarface' Nagi will get credit for the 39 months of incarceration he has already served while awaiting trial in U.S. District Court before Judge Nancy G. Edmunds.
Nagi was a former leader of the Detroit Highwaymen Motorcycle Club and the owner of three restaurants in Sterling Heights. His sentence was applauded by U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and Andrew G. Arena, the FBI special agent in charge of the Detroit office.
Dismantling violent gangs is a continuing priority for the FBI, Arena said in a statement, as he credited the joint efforts of a number of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies with proving the case.
McQuade added: Violent crime is a top priority of the U.S. Attorney's Office, and we will use all of the tools available to us to attack violent crime organizations like this one to protect our community.
Nagi, 46, was represented by Detroit-based attorney James C. Thomas, who could not be reached for comment after the sentencing. Thomas is expected to appeal the sentence, which he called draconian in court records prior to Monday's hearing."
