Al interior de Tocor\u00f3n, \u00c1lvarez se ali\u00f3 con otros dos reclusos, H\u00e9ctor \u201cNi\u00f1o Guerrero\u201d Guerrero<\/a> y Yohan \u201cJohan Petrica\u201d Romero<\/a>. Tras las rejas, el tr\u00edo dirigi\u00f3 al Tren de Aragua<\/a> y convirti\u00f3 a Tocor\u00f3n<\/a> en un feudo criminal con zool\u00f3gico y discoteca incluidos. Mientras extend\u00edan el alcance del grupo fuera de los muros de la prisi\u00f3n, construyeron una vasta empresa criminal dedicada a la extorsi\u00f3n, la trata de personas y el contrabando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
