Security services in Mexico have arrested Cesar Oswaldo, known as “Sniper,” the leader of the Salvadoran gang Barrio 18 and one of the most sought-after criminals in Central America. The man had been hiding in Mexico following his escape from El Salvador. He is expected to be handed over to the Salvadoran justice system. The arrest marks a significant success for regional law enforcement cooperation. “Sniper” was a key figure in criminal activities throughout Central America. Authorities have been pursuing him for an extended period. This apprehension will likely disrupt Barrio 18’s operations.
