Un caso contra la MS13 que opera en la capital de El Salvador muestra una creciente sofisticaci\u00f3n en el frente de lavado de dinero de la pandilla, aun cuando siga dependiendo de la violencia para el control de sus fuentes de ingreso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La clica Centrales Locos Salvatruchos (CLS) de la pandilla callejera Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) us\u00f3 ganancias derivadas de la extorsi\u00f3n en el mercado central de San Salvador para montar varios negocios; el m\u00e1s reciente de ellos, un servicio de distribuci\u00f3n de gas propano, seg\u00fan una nota de La Prensa Gr\u00e1fica<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La CLS obten\u00eda ingresos del mercado hasta por US$50.000 al mes, inform\u00f3 El Mundo<\/a>. Esta \u201ccaja menor\u201d, recogida y guardada en un punto centralizado, cubr\u00eda inicialmente gastos, como armas y adquisici\u00f3n de estupefacientes, as\u00ed como honorarios de abogados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pero el manejo de entradas tan grandes de dinero en efectivo requer\u00eda empresas fachada, se\u00f1al\u00f3 el reportaje. Y parece que ser due\u00f1os de cervecer\u00edas y tiendas de ropa y comidas<\/a> no era suficiente para la CLS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En enero de 2015, la clica estaba vendiendo propano a proveedores locales, despu\u00e9s de haberse hecho a licencias de operaci\u00f3n legales de la empresa y la acreditaci\u00f3n de sus miembros como distribuidores de gas registrados, se\u00f1ala el reportaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El negocio de propano de la CLS es un nuevo ejemplo de hasta d\u00f3nde se hab\u00edan sofisticado las operaciones de la clica en el mercado central. Informaciones anteriores<\/a> sobre la toma que la CLS logr\u00f3 del mercado negro de armas en la zona, por ejemplo, mostraban indicios de su capacidad organizacional para hacerse al control de un negocio local conformado tradicionalmente por actores independientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pese a la sofisticaci\u00f3n de la clica que se evidencia en estas operaciones \u2014y que replican la de la MS13 a nivel macro, dentro<\/a> y fuera del pa\u00eds<\/a>\u2014 la CLS sigue dependiendo de la violencia para llevar a cabo sus operaciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Noticias y perfil de la MS13<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n No cabe duda de que aunque la sofisticaci\u00f3n criminal muchas veces permite un modus operandi menos coercitivo, la zona de San Salvador bajo el yugo de la CLS<\/a> sigue sufriendo brotes de violencia letal<\/a>, que pueden deberse en su mayor\u00eda al alto grado de control territorial que demandan las actividades criminales de la clica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Desde septiembre de 2013 han sido asesinados un total de 22 guardias de seguridad<\/a> en el \u00e1rea, mientras que hechos violentos como el que dej\u00f3 seis muertos<\/a> a comienzos de este a\u00f1o indican que hay un conflicto latente<\/a> en desarrollo entre la pandilla y otros actores criminales por el control de la extorsi\u00f3n y otros ingresos criminales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Un caso contra la MS13 que opera en la capital de El Salvador muestra una creciente sofisticaci\u00f3n en el frente de lavado de dinero
