The Association Ñeta (Spanish language Asociación Ñeta, or simply Ñeta) is the name of a gang that began in the Puerto Rico prison system and spread to the United States. Although Puerto Rico has hundreds of small street gangs claiming its poorer neighborhoods, Ñetas is by far the largest and most dominant, controlling the illegal drug trade on the island. The gang claims about 150,000 members in Puerto Rico, 100,000 in the United States and nearly 10,000 in other parts of the world.
