One of them was identified as Jean Pierre Ortega Valverde, the leader of the gang<\/strong>. In addition, Rina Ram\u00edrez, alias ‘Loca Rina’, and a minor, nicknamed ‘La BB’, were arrested. Jean Pool Ortega Valverde, the detainee’s brother, and two other people in charge of opening bank accounts in the name of a minor to receive money from the extortions are also part of the criminal group.\n\nAccording to investigators, El Terror de la Timba threatened and controlled seven musical bands<\/strong>, which they forced to perform in certain venues, whose owners were also extorted. They would even have demanded payments during private events. “They forced the orchestras to perform in these venues as there was no contractual link. Neither did the orchestra pay the venue nor did the venue receive from the orchestra or another show producer”, explained<\/a> the general commander of the Police, \u00d3scar Arriola.\n\n\n
