Ray Foakes, a former Sonoma chapter president, was convicted of assault, while Christopher Ranieri was found guilty in a murder conspiracy.
SAN FRANCISCO — Two well-known members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club were convicted of racketeering and other federal offenses Wednesday, while a third member has been acquitted of witness intimidation, authorities said.
Raymond “Ray Ray” Foakes, the former president of the Hells Angels’ Sonoma chapter, was convicted of a racketeering conspiracy, assault with a deadly weapon, and witness intimidation, while Christopher “Rain Man” Ranieri was convicted of involvement in a murder conspiracy and racketeering. Brian Burke was found not guilty of intimidating a woman who alleged that Foakes had sexually assaulted her.
The convictions mark the next major step in an ongoing prosecution of a dozen members and associations of the Sonoma Hells Angels, and the second trial to result in guilty verdicts. Both Ranieri and Foakes face decades in prison, but a sentencing date has not yet been set, according to court records.
