Overview
- Police say they have dismantled 'Zazagang' after detaining ten minors in Oviedo and Gijón and seizing weapons and digital evidence.
- The investigation, started by the Brigadas de Información and the Comisaría General de Información, detected repeated assaults and initiation rites near schools that targeted other children.
- Authorities recovered axes, machetes, knives, baseball bats, imitation pistols and computers during four home searches that helped link the group to organized crime.
- The Juzgado de Menores ordered closed internment for the four identified leaders and prosecutors noted four other implicated children under 14 who are legally non-imputable.
- Officials say the group acted as a 'cantera' for the Latin gang Los Trinitarios and the case is part of the national Plan Operativo against organized and violent youth groups.
