Guardia Civil Dismantles Youth Gang Alliance in Collado Villalba, With 17 Detained or Investigated

Investigators link the cell’s resurgence to a minor’s release, citing planned reprisals.

Overview

  • The dismantled bloc combined members of Trinitarios, Blood and Forty-Two active in the northwest Madrid municipality.
  • The operation followed a late-2025 surge in violent attacks in the area and documented a stabbing during a clash.
  • Authorities say the intervention ended local hostilities between the Latin Kings and the Trinitarios-led alliance.
  • Seventeen suspects are detained or under investigation, including six minors, and prosecutors ordered four minors into juvenile internment.
  • Offenses under investigation include membership in a criminal organization, violent robbery, threats, injuries and extortion, and agents seized machetes, other knives and identifying apparel.
