Pete Belton

unknown United Kingdom

Pete Belton is a 44-year-old man from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, who recently gained media attention after a tattoo of his was mistakenly linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in a US government document. Belton's tattoo, a clock face representing the birth date and time of his daughter, was featured among images used to identify gang members, causing him concern about potential legal implications during his planned family trip to Miami. Despite the initial shock and humor of the situation, he now fears the possibility of being wrongfully associated with a criminal organization due to this erroneous identification.
