published by the BBC on Wednesday detailed how the Tren de Aragua transnational criminal organization “learned from the mistakes” of other gangs such as the Salvadoran MS-13 and 18th Street to carry out its unusually rapid expansion throughout the hemisphere, including the United States.
“It spread naturally, following the Venezuelan migration, because that is the population it exploits, just as MS-13 moved to New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts or Boston, where there are Salvadoran communities, because they are the ones it extorts,” Brunner said. “If the PCC took 30 years to become what it is, the Tren de Aragua has been what it is for 10 years, at most,” Zeballos said. “If we look at when it was born, it is like an adolescent that is already acting like an adult.”
Luis Izquiel, professor of Criminology at the Central University of Venezuela, explained to the BBC that the organization was born “some 12 or 14 years ago” in a union that controlled the construction works of a railroad that would cross the Venezuelan state of Aragua, where they got its now-infamous name after extorting contractors and selling jobs on the railroad’s construction sites.
