Sixteen people in Florida have been indicted on racketeering charges for “propagating Aryan philosophy” as members of the Unforgiven, a white supremacist gang.

The indictment, unsealed Thursday, states the group tried to preserve and expand its power and territory through recruitment and indoctrination of white supremacist ideology.

The group is accused of pursuing business and political leadership through intimidation, threats and acts of violence.

The indictment charges each of the 16 defendants with committing at least one violent act in aid of Unforgiven, including kidnappings, conspiracies to commit assault, threats of violence and assaults with deadly weapons.

The 16 members are:

  • Maverick Maher, 39, of Pensacola
  • Joshua Fisher, 27, of Brooksville
  • Levi Sharp, 38, of Satsuma
  • George Andrews II, 51, of Pensacola
  • James Mapoles, 40, of Panama City
