After an extraordinary security council in Bogotá, Mayor Claudia López explained that the authorities have identified nine criminal organizations that have carried out various irregular activities in the city, among which is the Aragua Train.
The mayor of Bogotá (Colombia), Claudia López, requested this Tuesday the 6th to take measures from the Government of Venezuela on the cases of the main leaders of the Aragua Train, who lead the megagang from the Tocorón penitentiary center (Aragua state), with the objective to “isolate” them.
López asked the Colombian ambassador to Venezuela, Armando Benedetti, to formally require the Venezuelan government to effectively isolate, “if possible this week” the criminals who call themselves “Niño Guerrero” and “Giovanny.”
This request was also made to the Foreign Ministry of his country, as was the Venezuelan ambassador to Colombia, Félix Placencia.
He explained that isolating these criminals could prevent them from continuing to coordinate irregular activities from Tocorón. “They are detained, but not isolated (…) they continue to direct activities with repercussions in Bogotá,” the official insisted.

López also asked the authorities of both nations to process the reactivation, in the shortest time possible, of the channels of judicial cooperation and binational intelligence, since the security forces “need the information that each one has in terms of antecedents to capture, identify and prosecute the members of these structures”.
After an extraordinary security council in Bogotá, Mayor López explained that the local authorities have identified nine criminal organizations that have carried out various irregular activities in the city, among which is the group called Tren de Aragua.
He explained that among the gangs detected, three structures stand out that are in the midst of constant confrontations, in order to gain power from criminal income, and one of them is the Venezuelan cross-border gang.
As detailed by the Colombian media Week, The mayor of Bogotá promoted the creation of a Special Multi-Crime Team, made up of 34 investigators from the criminal area, 10 specialized intelligence officers from the Polfa (Fiscal and Customs Police), Sijín, Gaula, Antinarcotics, Intelligence, and 10 more from counterintelligence, in order to combat the organized crime groups identified to date.
Said body will be reinforced by 100 assets, with which 1,300 will be completed that will face organized crime, with a special focus on the three international groups that are the protagonists of the vendettas and that have caused the death of 23 people, including seven Venezuelans, found in garbage bags in different sectors of the Colombian capital.
