The dangerous criminal gang Tren de Aragua kidnaps Venezuelan women in Bolivia to force the husbands of the victims to transport drugs from that country to Chili. This was revealed by a report by Dutywhich divulged the experience of Mijaíl, a migrant who iscurrently imprisoned because the authorities obtained the drug from him at the border.
The criminal organization captured him in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
Days earlier, his wife and daughter had been kidnapped. The criminals threatened Mikhail: if he wanted to see his family again he had to transport cocaine and only then would he be reunited with his relatives on Chilean soil. But he didn’t make it. His loved ones, reported the Bolivian media, could be experiencing an ordeal in some city in Chile.
Duty indicated that the members of the Tren de Aragua operate in at least four capital cities of Bolivia: Santa Cruz de la Sierra, La Paz, Cochabamba and Oruro. At those points they kidnap Venezuelan women who sell candy on the streets, clean windshields or beg. Then they take them to Chile to sexually exploit them and, at the same time, they intimidate their husbands.
“In the sad scene other victims appear. They are the husbands and fathers looking for their wives and daughters in these cities. Many think that their relatives were detained by the police for not having the corresponding immigration documentation, but this is not the case. After a while they are connected by the members of this mafia. They reveal that their wives and daughters were kidnapped and that the only way to see them again is to take drugs to Chile,” the digital media reported.
had no choice
Michael said that He had no choice but to agree to the criminals’ conditions. The cocaine was delivered to him in a double-bottomed suitcase in the Bolivian city of Oruro. Along with his wife and daughter, he was dedicated to cleaning the windshields of vehicles.
The Venezuelan citizen already has preventive detention, but not a conviction and hopes to receive help from agencies for being a victim forced to take drugs to Chile to return to his relatives.
The Bolivian Prosecutor’s Office stated Duty, They are not aware of the presence of the Aragua Train in the country, but they investigate the cases of Venezuelans who try to pass drugs to Chile. Groups that traffic women and girls across the border for sexual exploitation are also under investigation.
