The Spanish Civil Guard arrested three members of the Latin gang Dominican Don’t Play (DDP) as alleged perpetrators of the crime to the machetes of a 25-year-old related to the Trinitarians on February 5 in a neighborhood in the south of Madrid.
As reported on Monday by the Civil Guard, the arrests took place in Madrid, in the neighboring province of Toledo and in Badajoz (southwest).
The facts for which the arrests took place correspond to the so-called "night of falls"in which that young was murdered in the neighborhood of Usera and another minor under 15 years of age was murdered in the center of the citytwo separate attacks by alleged members of the DDP in the capital.
The first three arrests for the crime in a Usera park managed to dismantle, with another eight arrests, the "chorus" (territorial group) of the DDP of the town of Illescas (Toledo), to which several of those involved in the events in Madrid belonged.
The Illescas judge is investigating these three new detainees as allegedly responsible for the crimes of homicide and belonging to a criminal organization.
To the six arrests for this event are added two other prisoners who had been arrested by the Police for their participation in that crime.
More than a year ago the Civil Guard of Toledo began the investigations related to the criminal activities committed by the Dominican Don gang"t Play in the province of Toledo.
Spain suffered in recent months an uptick in violence related to gangswith multiple brawls with knives, and to try to stop it, since last February there has been a reinforcement of more than half a thousand police officers to more closely control these gangs in different neighborhoods of the capital, as well as in towns of the periphery.
The two main gangs that operate are the Trinitarios and the Dominican Don’t Play (DDP), and it so happens that their members are getting younger and more violent.
