In June 2020, G Fredo, born Michael Brandao, was of one of the 31 individuals arrested and charged in federal court on RICO conspiracy and conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.

In June of 2022, the ’34 Baby’ entered a guilty plea on all both charges, alongside Hamma Thang and 7981 Kal. Seven months later, G Fredo returned to the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse to learn his fate.

On Wednesday, Jan. 25, G Fredo was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin to 108 months (nine years) in prison with 32 months of time served, according to a press release by the Department of Justice. G Fredo was previously facing up to 40 years in prison and a $1.2 million fine. He is expected to only serve four years.

“Brandao was an active and violent member of the NOB gang who personally committed and supported multiple violent crimes on behalf of the gang,” the press release reads. “The Court determined that Brandao was responsible for an attempted murder and took it into consideration at sentencing.”

The press release continues with the following: “Specifically, in November 2018, an individual was shot multiple times with a .40 caliber pistol in broad daylight near their residence in New Bedford; this individual survived their injuries.” Additionally, according to court documents, Brandao actively facilitated, promoted and furthered the criminal activities committed by the NOB gang in various ways, including. by publishing recordings and videos boasting about violence he and the NOB gang committed, bragging about his personal participation in gang violence, threatening rival gangs and intimidating witnesses.”

Last week, HSM’s Hamma Thang was found not guilty on murder charges stemming from the 2018 death of then 24-year-old Kelby Ramos. Hamma Thang and 7981 Kal are scheduled to face a judge for their charges on RICO conspiracy in the coming months.
