SAN SALVADOR - The mafia gangs plaguing Central America, known as maras, kept in suspense to several governments, which multiply laws and regulations to combat the thousands of members of these groups emerged a quarter of a century ago in the barrios of Los Angeles.
That law provides that "are illegal and are banned gangs or maras calls such as Mara Salvatrucha, MS 13, Mara 18, Mara Machine, Mara Mao Mao", and sets prison sentences - just for the sake of integrity - seven to ten years for its leaders and six years for other members. Currently, about 7 thousand gang members are imprisoned in El Salvador, but it is estimated that in the streets may have between 9 thousand and 20 thousand more, as many teenagers are recruited every day, according to police
