A court in El Salvador has sentenced leaders and members of a criminal structure to prison terms of up to 60 years. The ruling also includes 30-year sentences for 45 gang members identified as “homeboys,” reflecting a crackdown on organized crime. Additionally, 27 civilians accused of collaborating with the gang received the same 30-year sentences. The decision marks a significant development in El Salvador’s efforts to combat gang violence and dismantle criminal networks. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the specific crimes committed by those sentenced. This large-scale sentencing follows a period of heightened security measures implemented by the government to address escalating gang activity. The sentences aim to disrupt the operations and influence of these criminal organizations within the country.
