Process against gang members to begin in El Salvador

San Salvador, Jan 22 (Prensa Latina) Authorities in El Salvador will begin the judicial process against 494 gang members who committed crimes in the country during a decade, the Minister of Security, Gustavo Villatoro, said.

The minister emphasized that the process is against the entire “parallel criminal state” that controlled this country from 2012 to 2022, which is the accusation that sets the pattern on how El Salvador will confront this terrorist organization. These people are responsible for homicides, disappearances, extortion, human trafficking, trafficking and drug possession, carrying or driving a firearms, among others.

Experts in these processes indicate that the trial that begins here is unprecedented and would be above the Maxiprocesso that paralyzed Italy in the 80’s against the Sicilian mafia.
