Carabineros arrest kidnappers linked to the Tren de Aragua The police on 4 October arrested two members of ‘Los Piratas’ in Iquique (Tarapaca region). Senior police officials confirmed the suspects’ participation in an abduction reported a couple of months earlier and claimed that the gang has direct links with the Tren de Aragua.
Control Risks comment
Large criminal groups such as the Tren de Aragua or Los Pulpos will continue to rely on the creation of smaller groups to expand their reach across the country. This process will also increase the threat to wealthy individuals over the rest of 2024, as these gangs will continue to depend heavily on the revenue generated from ransom payments to fund their operations and will select their targets based on their personal displays of wealth.
