Formed in the mid-90s in Miami, the Zoe Pound - whose members have to be "tattooed" on a shoulder with a knife - is "well known for his violent crimes, his thefts and his involvement in drug trafficking, "wrote the Drug Enforcement Agency in February 2010, after dismantling a network of traffickers operating in several US states and led by this gang. At the Port of Miami, the gang looted clandestine shipments of cocaine on ships and shot dead crew members in 1997. Conflicts with rival clans resulted in several deadly road shootings at the AK-47. Its members even use voodoo to protect themselves from their enemies and do not hesitate to use torture (torch, for example) to extort or make others speak, according to an episode of the documentary series "Gangland" presented on the History channel , in 2009. The FBI says that "Haitian-born gangs like Zoe Pound are now proliferating on the US East Coast," including New York and New Jersey, according to its 2011 report on organized crime gangs.
