While Operation Trueno’s stated target was the Tren del Llano gang, security forces abused, tortured, robbed, extorted, and falsely imprisoned ordinary families. The harrowing stories of three of those families as well as the story of the operation itself have been brought to life through the visual storytelling of InSight Crime illustrators.
In addition, the investigation includes Defiende Venezuela’s in-depth human rights report on the operation, detailing the patterns of abuses and rights violations that emerge from the 34 cases documented.
