Chilean Appeals Court Upholds Sentences for Tren de Aragua Cell Members

Chile's Iquique Court of Appeals rejected defense nullity motions, confirming sentences against six members of 'Los Piratas', a cell of the transnational criminal organization Tren de Aragua. The ruling solidifies convictions in a high-profile case highlighting the group's presence in northern Chile. This is a routine appellate confirmation, not a new development, but reinforces judicial action against organized crime.
