Eight suspects linked to the criminal organization “Los Gemelos” will be held in preventative prison following operations conducted by the OIJ (Organización de Investigación Judicial) in Costa Rica. The group is currently under investigation for five homicides. Authorities also suspect the gang’s involvement in narcotics trafficking. The preventative detention order follows recent investigative work by the OIJ aimed at dismantling the criminal network. This action signifies a move to ensure the suspects will not interfere with the ongoing investigation. Further details regarding the specific charges and evidence are expected to be released as the legal process unfolds in Costa Rica. The OIJ continues to pursue leads related to the group’s alleged criminal activities.
