In a significant development, the Guyana Police Force’s Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has confirmed that the Venezuelan man responsible for the recent bombing of a Mobil gas station in Georgetown is a member of the infamous R Organization (Organización R – OR). The suspect, Mr. Ramirez Peodomo, faces multiple charges, including terrorism, murder, attempted murder, arson, and malicious damage to property. The R Organization, led by Eduardo Jose Natera, is one of Venezuela’s most powerful illegal mining gangs, known for its violent expansion and community influence tactics. The group, often referred to as a ‘sindicato,’ has grown rapidly in Bolívar state, leveraging both armed strength and social outreach programs to secure local support. The R Organization’s history dates back to 2008, when it began as a gang involved in robberies and murders before transitioning into illegal gold mining. Over the years, it has established control over key mining areas, often clashing with rival gangs and even challenging Venezuelan security forces. The group’s charitable arm, the 3Rs Foundation, has played a crucial role in gaining community trust by providing food, healthcare, and public services. Despite its criminal activities, the R Organization has managed to maintain a complex network of alliances and political connections, though recent military operations have threatened its dominance in the region.
