English term or phrase: A seasoned group
Under the left-of-centre government of Hernán Siles Suazo, following the demise of Meza’s government, Barbie was eventually expelled from Bolivia in February 1983 to face trial in France for crimes against humanity. A *seasoned group* of women and men was already keenly aware of such activity.

Mi traducción: Un experimentado grupo de hombres y mujeres ya estaba muy familiarizado con esa actividad.

No estoy segura de que experimentado sea el mejor adjetivo en este caso. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
Muchas gracias!

Un grupo de ... estaba ya avezado en tal actividad.


Explanation:
Using this term lets you skip the "familiarizado".

"Un experimentado grupo " is also good, or "un grupo ducho".
