In the night from Friday to Saturday – April 6 – around 1 a.m., a car and scooter collided hard at the intersection of Wibautstraat and Pieter Jelles Troelstralaan in Zaandam.

The driver of an Opel wanted to turn right at the intersection onto Pieter Jelles Troelstalaan. After the traffic light turned green, he looked both left and right to see if there were any cyclists or scooters approaching, because they have the green light at the same time. He never saw the scooter coming and according to several witnesses the scooter was driving fast and without lights.

The car and scooter collided violently, with the driver of the scooter ending up on the sidewalk a few meters away. Ambulance workers provided medical assistance, following which the victim was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

Parts of both the car and the scooter were scattered across the road, on the cycle path and on the sidewalk. The victim’s scooter was taken by someone and placed safely at home. The car was allowed to be parked a little further in a parking space. The owner later contacts his insurer so that his car can be taken to a repair shop.

The victims were seven men and one woman, the latter was murdered and they tried to burn inside her house. A search is already underway for the person responsible who, apparently, would be a family member.

“Depuration of migrants”

Luis Fernando Quijano, director of the Corporation for Peace and Development (Corpades), explained that “although it is not clear that the murders are related, within the national criminal structures, which are made up of migrants, there is a withdrawal of this population due to various inconveniences”

This version was corroborated by judicial sources, taking into account that many organizations have been nourished by this population in recent years, reaching the point that in the city there are criminal structures of Colombian origin whose members are, for the most part, from the neighboring country. It was even said that the Tren de Aragua in Medellín, one of the most dangerous gangs in Venezuela and which already has a presence in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Panama and the United States, was interested in entering the metropolitan area.

Although the Medellín authorities reiterate over and over once more that they have no indication that this organization is in the city, Quijano assured that there are some “stations” of this transnational organization, which “might be strengthened with the purge, be it armed or simply due to the withdrawal of these migrants, who are forming new common crime organizations, mainly,” Quijano explained.

Intolerance or retaliation?

Of the eight cases registered in the last 10 days, only in three the circumstances are not entirely clear and it is being investigated whether they are part of the purge or other adjustments between criminal gangs, such as the first of this streak, just before it happened the first Holy Week procession through the streets of the Aures neighborhood, which was interrupted by the murder of Wilson Javier Liendo Blasco, 24 years old.
