Venezuela Mega-Gang Shatters 'Pax Mafiosa' by Murdering Rivals
Chris Dalby

A dangerous mega-gang in Venezuela has massacred members of another alleged criminal group in retaliation for the murder of two soldiers. The application of this form of “justice” would spell an end to the “pax mafiosa” between certain criminal groups, controlling neighborhoods of Caracas, and the government of Nicolás Maduro.

On the night of February 12, the mega-gang (referring to a criminal group with over 100 men) of Carlos Luis Revette, alias “Coqui,” murdered seven members of the less powerful gang of Elvis Eduardo Castro Troya, alias “El Culón.” These two groups are fighting for control of Cota 905, a populous neighborhood with high levels of violence, southwest of Caracas.

The massacre occurred after members of the Castro Troya gang murdered two soldiers from the Bolivarian National Guard (Guardia Nacional Bolivariana – GNB) and the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (Dirección General de Contrainteligencia Militar – DGCIM). The double homicide was considered as a breach of an unwritten criminal rule, which prohibits the killing of police or military officials in the area.

Add to this mix, Venezuela has this gang problem, the government is allegedly in on the drug smuggling and allegedly, so are plenty of other criminal elements.

So, this has been going on for some time, obviously, we wouldn't want to step in and help one particular side, even inadvertently.   I don't know if it was like this before Chavez took control or not.
