El Salvador holds mass gang trial of nearly 500
Nearly 500 alleged members of the powerful Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) went on trial collectively in El Salvador on Monday, accused of thousands of murders.
The country is conducting mass trials of thousands of suspected gang members, many of whom have spent years in prison without charge or visiting rights, as part of iron-fisted President Nayib Bukele's anti-gang crackdown.
The Attorney General's Office said 486 suspected MS-13 members were on trial for 47,000 crimes committed between 2012 and 2022, including 29,000 homicides.
