Brandon Hantz -- a veteran of the "Survivor" universe -- has been arrested on charges of racketeering conspiracy and arson ... while several of his alleged associates are facing murder charges.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas unsealed a 22-count indictment Wednesday charging Hantz and 13 others with a variety of crimes ... alleging they're all members or associates of the Bandidos motorcycle gang in the state.
According to prosecutors, the Bandidos are engaged in a turf war with a rival gang -- B*EAST ... and, the Bandidos allegedly put out a "smash on site" order against their rival, which means members are instructed to assault and even murder members of B*EAST.
Artem Chigvintsev Domestic Violence Arrest Ruined Me ... D.A. Couldn't Charge Me!!!
Artem Chigvintsev says getting arrested for domestic violence "completely ruined" his life ... and, it's especially unfair 'cause the district attorney couldn't even charge him, he says.
The professional dancer talked about the incident on the "Glamorous Grind" podcast Tuesday ... and, he says that any way you cut it, his life was ruined by the arrest.
According to AC, he doubled down on what prosecutors decided back in September -- no criminal charges. Artem reiterated the Napa County D.A. found nothing they could charge him with ... but by then, the damage was already done.
As we've reported, Artem said his bank account took a huge hit -- losing $100,000 in income after the arrest due to lost dancing gigs.
Artem and Nikki Bella, who met as partners on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2017, were able to hammer out a divorce settlement after going to mediation last November -- a few months after Nikki filed for divorce following his DV arrest in August.
When asked on the podcast why he didn't take things to trial to clear his name, Artem explained he just wanted everything to be over, move on emotionally and financially, and get back to living his life.
Looks like both Artem and Nikki have officially put the challenging chapter behind them.
