Paul Mauro: Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang in the U.S. Is ‘No Less Dangerous’ Than the Italian Mafia

‘Until you treat them at that level, they are going to continue to proliferate’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MAURO: "That's well put and that’s my perspective and I think that's the perspective of most law enforcement forces now. While it isn't a coherent organization, the fact that it is not as hierarchical as let's say the traditional Italian mafia makes it no less dangerous. It's a little bit more analogous to the Russian mafia model which is a little bit more discreet in terms of individual groups operating around different areas but that does not mean they do not cooperate."
