National Prosecutor warns: capture of "R 15" does not dismantle Tren de Aragua in Chile
The National Prosecutor stated that the arrival and detention of "R 15" in Chile is not sufficient to dismantle the Tren de Aragua.
Arrival of "R 15" in Chile does not imply dismantling of Tren de Aragua, according to National Prosecutor
Google News CL — Crime reports that the National Prosecutor made a statement regarding the arrival in Chile of the individual known as "R 15", allegedly linked to the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
According to the highest authority of the Public Ministry, the presence or detention of this subject on Chilean territory does not allow the conclusion that the criminal organisation has been dismantled. "It is difficult to assert that this entails dismantling the Tren de Aragua," the prosecutor declared.
The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua operates in several South American countries and has been identified by Chilean authorities as one of the transnational criminal organisations with the greatest presence in the country in recent years.
The National Prosecutor did not provide additional details about ongoing investigations or about the full identity of the detainee, but emphasised that investigations continue to determine the actual scope of the criminal structure in Chile.
