Five gang leaders will be relocated to La Roca
The transfer will be this April 4, 2022 in a military plane. The Government explained that it will follow the path of money, which is one of the main motivations behind the prison massacres.
The Minister of the Interior, Patricio Carrillo, congratulated the work to contain the prison massacre of April 3, 2022, which left 20 inmates dead in the Turi prison . For him, the performance in these 48 hours "has been different."
As in other massacres (at least five in less than two years), the Government attributed these actions to drug trafficking , corruption and the economy . “We are going to follow the money trail. Because one of the elements for all these acts of violence to be unleashed has to do with the criminal economy ," Carrillo said.

"We have found the 197 ballistic evidence and a very fast approach (...) we found the method to heat long weapons like the ones we are exhibiting today in the infrastructure of the prison center."
In total there would be six short weapons and one long one that were used in the massacre. “We are not going to leave the center until we finish finding those elements,” said Carrillo.
