Dear Reader
It’s that time of the year again! InSight Crime gives you 2025’s GameChangers, our annual series highlighting the most significant shifts in organized crime across Latin America.
This year’s edition dives into the tectonic shifts in the US drug war in the region and looks forward to what 2026 might have in store for the organized crime world. With US President Donald Trump threatening to invade Venezuela, cocaine production booming, and Colombia’s Total Peace process in pieces, don’t miss our take on what those dynamics and more mean for 2026.
Looking back over the last decade, we also explain the transformation of some of the region’s major illicit markets. Chapter 1 is now available.
