Boqueta was one of the leaders of the Trinitarios group in Catalonia, where the gang of Dominican origins was founded in 2007. In the investigation into the serious injuries suffered by a young man who was trying to leave the group, Boqueta was considered one of the leaders of the group. At that time, the man had collected numerous police records related to violent crimes. Investigators describe him as an established criminal who always had a leadership role.
The operation against this Latin gang joins other operations carried out by the National Police and the Civil Guard in Catalonia, after many years in which these groups disappeared from the police radar. Mossos d’Esquadra maintains a skeptical view on the resurgence of gang activity, in terms of groups confronting each other, taking revenge and fighting for control of space and drug trafficking. Although they also took action against them, they consider their activity to be purely criminal, and not related to belonging to a specific gang.
