Brazilian police uncover mass clandestine grave linked to Venezuelan gang near the border

Brazilian police in the northern state of Roraima found a clandestine cemetery with bodies of Venezuelan migrants, linked to the Tren de Aragua gang. Authorities say the group is expanding in Brazil, using Venezuelan migration to establish operations. The gang, formed in a Venezuelan prison, is involved in drug trafficking and illegal mining across Latin America. Forensic experts report brutal killings, with victims showing signs of severe trauma. A Tren de Aragua member claims more bodies remain undiscovered. Officials struggle to track gang members due to a lack of information from Venezuela. Most Venezuelan migrants remain victims of the ongoing crisis.
