They dominated the ‘pink areas’ of Los Olivos, Comas and Puente Piedra at will. In those jurisdictions of Northern Lima, they felt untouchable and extorted dozens of sex workers. His goal was to amass large sums of money, which could reach up to 50,000 soles a month, to lead a life of luxury, excess, and a lot of drugs. Death was the cost of not paying them.

The staff of the Explosives Disposal Unit found more than 200 boxes with unauthorized artifacts.

It is about a dangerous mafia made up of foreigners that fell this week in Comas, after a surprise operation by the Peruvian National Police (PNP). According to the authorities, in that district they had their “bunker” in which they planned to “collect quotas” of between 400 and 600 soles a week from the prostitutes, who lived in fear.

“They have weapons, grenades, and we are afraid because what they told us is that they were going to make an attempt on our lives,” one of them told Domingo al Día, under anonymity.

The Los Olivos district has become one of the ‘pink zones’ of Metropolitan Lima.

Colonel PNP, Víctor Revoredo, head of the Homicide Division, confirmed that these subjects are seasoned criminals, whose “life model” was to subdue these women, and those who opposed them ended up dead.

According to the Police, Héctor Alfonso Prieto Materano, 36, alias ‘Mamut’, was the ringleader of this criminal organization. He is from Caracas, Venezuela, where he was already incarcerated in the Tocorón prison, one of the most dangerous prisons in that country.

In his statement to the officials, ‘Mamut’ revealed that he entered Peruvian soil through the border with Brazil and that he was a prisoner for more than two and a half years. According to him, he was only captured that time for possessing a pistol without the regulation permit.

“Once they are located in our country, they begin their criminal activities, which is their model of life. They have no other lawful activity profile, their activity is that: extortion and subjugation,” the colonel reiterated.

One of the areas that they had taken over was the area around the Mega Plaza shopping center.

Videos posted on TikTok confirmed that Prieto Materano and the other members of his gang drank the best drinks, rented huge houses with pools in exclusive areas in the south of the capital, and owned expensive clothes, jewelry, and sneakers.

“All the criminal activity they carry out, hitmen, prostitution, extortion and related crimes is to rent these well-known bunkers and yachts, where they hold their parties, giving free rein to their low instincts,” said the head of the Homicide Division.

According to the Police, “Mamut” ordered to bring the girls from Venezuela to Peru, capturing them -many times- with deception. Some sex workers revealed that they were offered formal jobs, but when they reached their homeland they were put out on the streets.

“In your country there is part of your criminal organization that is dedicated to recruiting women who need employment in our country. They recruit them, scam them and here they place them in hostels, parks and crowded areas, such as Plaza Norte”, the colonel asserted.

One of the points where this mafia operated in the surroundings of the Plaza Norte shopping center.

Police discovered that the mafia leader had erased a tattoo on his right arm so as not to be recognized by his adversaries.

To find his capture and that of eight other members of the criminal network, the Dirincri Homicide Division and the Special Investigation Brigade against Foreign Crime followed up for several days.

“I am innocent of what I am accused of. I am a merchant,” said ‘Mamut’ defiantly, as he entered the police headquarters on Avenida España, in Cercado de Lima.

Despite the fact that he denied the accusations, during the intervention the authorities found drugs, weapons, grenades and a large amount of ammunition, as well as a notebook with notes on the charges they made to the prostitutes. In a month with their extortions, only in one area, they could extract more than nine thousand soles.

“The notebooks that have been seized in this successful operation speak of large sums of money that fluctuate between 20 and 50 thousand soles,” Colonel Revoredo said.

Despite the efforts of the authorities, prostitution continues to proliferate in various parts of Lima.

The “sex mafias” made up of Colombian and Venezuelan pimps are spreading terror in the streets of Cercado de Lima, between the shreds of Cailloma and Zepita, which have already become a “pink zone.”

It was learned that there are several mafias that have taken control of these streets led by Colombian citizens, but for months several women have begun to receive threatening messages from Venezuelan gangs demanding payment of 200 to 300 soles a week to work “quietly” in this zone.

The Venezuelan mafia, some members of the dangerous band ‘Tren de Aragua’, seek to have control of this part of Lima because it is one of the areas where there is little police presence and it is very frequent by parishioners who seek to pass a moment of pleasure
