El Salvador’s populist leader, Vice Buquel, has been engaged in a highly controversial year-long ‘war’ against the country’s notorious gangs, and as a result a significant number of various gang members are now in prison. After the war against their gangs, more than 60 thousand gang members have been arrested.
Today in the morning, in a solo operation, we transferred the first 2,000 pandilleros to the Center of Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT).
