Prison for “Latin Kings” accused of assault

The gang were accused of a brutal attack on a young Bolivian man which resulted in serious injuries. The presiding magistrate said that all five, Ecuadorian by nationality, should remain in prison until their case is heard in court. A Colombian woman, one of the two who remained at liberty will also face trial but is meanwhile caring for her baby. The other, a Chilean had reportedly not belonged to any organised gang for a period of five years. The accused are denying their implication in the assault and even that they are part of a gang. They referred to the incident in which the Bolivian suffered grievous body harm as just a “youngsters' fight.”
