Five dead expose war between narcos over territory in Uruguay
A quintuple homicide in Uruguay brings to light the escalation of violence between drug-trafficking organisations competing for territorial control, according to Google News UY — Crime.
The incident, which left five victims dead, is interpreted by authorities as a direct expression of the confrontation between drug-trafficking groups operating in the country.
The circumstances of the crime point to a dispute between rival factions over the domination of strategic zones for drug distribution, a pattern that in recent times has intensified violence rates in Uruguay.
Security forces are investigating the case with the objective of identifying those responsible and determining the link between the gangs involved. So far, no arrests have been reported.
