Apparently, these gangs are responsible for homicides due to territorial control disputes for the sale of narcotics.
The Police revealed that they found evidence of invisible borders and the existence of markings on the facades of houses “where with graffiti they sent threatening messages to other rival groups,” they say in the statement.
In addition, they are accused of other crimes such as forced displacement, the use of minors for the commission of crimes and the illegal possession of weapons.
During these proceedings, seven minors were apprehended and will be made available to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for adolescents for the restitution of their rights.
According to the ‘Security and Coexistence’ report, between September 1 and 29 there were 108 violent deaths. It is the month with the most cases so far in 2020.
