Two leaders of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua were indicted for orchestrating a man’s kidnapping and torture as well as burglaries at two Denver jewelry stores, federal and local law enforcement officials said Thursday.
Brawins Dominique Suarez Villegas and Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano face charges of racketeering, kidnapping, money laundering, drug distribution, conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery and weapons charges.
Officials with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, FBI and Denver Police Department announced the indictment at the Department of Justice’s Denver office on Thursday afternoon.
Suarez Villegas is in custody in a Colombian prison awaiting extradition to Colorado, and Mosquera Serrano is at large.
Mosquera Serrano is now on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, and the agency is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest.
Law enforcement agencies continue working with international and domestic partners to dismantle gangs by targeting leadership and facilitators, Acting FBI Special Agent in Charge Marv Massey said.
“Together our goal is to bring to justice the leaders of violent transnational gangs whose actions violate the laws of the United States and put innocent American lives at risk,” he said.
