Peru Arrests Extortion Gang that Used Nazi Symbols to Sow Terror

Police in Peru arrested five extortionists from Colombia and Venezuela on Tuesday in raids on homes in Lima and neighboring Huaral.
The arrests followed investigations into a rising wave of gang violence and extortion rackets that use Nazi symbols to threaten victims.
Authorities found weapons, explosives, and about 100 stickers depicting a Nazi eagle with a swastika, which the gang used to intimidate business owners and a judge.
Police chief Juan Mundaca said they are investigating if these stickers match those posted on victims’ properties, while prosecutor Jose Silva confirmed the gang’s threats in Huaral.
This case highlights Peru’s ongoing struggle with criminal gangs like Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, which operate regionally and enforce extortion through violence and terror symbols.
