Paul Mauro: Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua Gang in US ‘No Less Dangerous’ Than Italian Mafia :: Grabien

EXTENDED FRAGMENT:

MAURO: “That’s well said and that’s my perspective and I think that’s the perspective of most law enforcement agencies now. Although it’s not a coherent organization, the fact that it’s not as hierarchical as, for example, the traditional Italian mafia doesn’t make it any less dangerous. It’s a little bit more analogous to the Russian mafia model which is a little bit more discrete in terms of individual groups operating in different areas, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work together.”
