A new Dominican gang is now fighting over control for streets in the Spanish capital, according to El Dia. The paper reports that "Los Trinitarios" have split from the DDP (Dominicans Don't Play) gang and use the slogan "Dios, Patria y Libertad," as their gang tagline. Gang members reportedly greet each other with the words "For Love of Country." The gang, which until recently was only present in the DR and Dominican neighborhoods in New York, has now expanded its base to Madrid.
Reporter Jose Antonio Hernandez says that the gang claims Dominican founding father Juan Pablo Duarte as their founder, and their leader is a man known by the alias "Tony Toca". Gang members are known to use knives, firearms or even machetes and according to a code of conduct street fighters can receive 300 hits for minor infractions or 844 hits for mayor infractions. Death is also a penalty for some serious actions like desertion or "snitching" to the police. Gang fights have been common as gang members fight for control with the Latin Kings, the largest Latino gang in the US, and the Netas, originating in Puerto Rico.
