Venezuela charges 8 in Aragua Train killing of professor over anti-drug efforts

Venezuelan prosecutors charged eight individuals with homicide, torture, forced disappearance, and criminal conspiracy in the killing of professor Kevin Santiago Ángel, allegedly by the Aragua Train gang for steering youths away from drugs. The charges signal state action against a powerful criminal network, but details on arrests and evidence remain unclear. This marks a notable judicial step in a country where gang violence often goes unpunished.
