Tren de Aragua members sentenced to total of over 500 years in prison

Donald Trump ran his campaign on the idea that he would clean up America as well as the world. Whether it's Biden's economic disasters, liberals' soft stances on law and order, or government corruption, the president has promised to drain the swamp.

It would appear as though the rest of the world is willing to follow his lead.

A Chilean court has issued prison sentences totaling over 550 years against 34 members of Los Gallegos, which is an "armed wing" of the Tren de Aragua terrorist organization, Breitbart reports.

The 34 convicted men consisted of 31 Venezuelans and three Chileans.

It took over a year for the trial to be completed, a process the Chilean public prosecutor's office described as "historic."

The guilty charges consisted of illicit association, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, kidnapping, homicide, and others.

One of the men was given a life sentence for committing two homicides, while three others were given sentences of at 44, 39, and 32 years. The rest of the criminals received sentences ranging from 1.5 to 20 years.

The prosecutor's office indicated the trial was considered one of the "most relevant at the national level in the fight against transnational organized crime due" because of the massive size and scope of the investigation.

The trial featured more than 35 witnesses, highlighted by a brave undercover agent who infiltrated the group. Evidence consisted of more than 100 wiretapped telephone recordings, videos, and analysis of the gang’s own accounting notebooks.

"This is a strong blow to organized crime, but we must not lower our arms. The entire state apparatus must unite and intensify the fight against these criminal phenomena," Chilean Regional Prosecutor Mario Carrera said.

True to his word, these might not be the last criminals to be locked up as a result of this investigation.

Carrera explained that "Arica’s regional prosecutor’s office is requesting 12 extradition orders from the United States, Colombia, and Peru against other individuals linked to the group."

"Whoever commits acts such as those committed in this case, serious crimes, will be prosecuted, not only in national territory, but also in the place where they are found," he said.

"Let’s remember everything that happened to us in this case from day one. From how the problem caught us, from how we had to learn who the Tren de Aragua was," Carrera continued. "It was necessary to adapt and work with different institutions, including some authorities that at the beginning were not, let’s say, in line with what we were experiencing in the region."
