Authorities have indicted 27 members of Anti-Tren, a “splinter faction” of Tren de Aragua, on 38 counts, including murder in aid of racketeering in connection with an April 15, 2024, double murder in New York, and sex trafficking, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a Feb. 13 statement.
The defendants “planned and carried out a series of horrific crimes, including gunpoint robberies, murders, and the exploitation of vulnerable young women through sex trafficking,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.
