Don’t forget to join us tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 2, when InSight Crime holds a discussion on cross-border criminal dynamics in Guatemala. The seminar kicks off a series of talks from our two-year investigation into crime and corruption in the Northern Triangle countries and in the Southern Cone’s Tri-Border Area – two of Latin America’s trafficking hotspots.
During this event, Co-director Steven Dudley and InSight Crime investigators will present an interactive online dashboard that maps criminal groups and activities -- such as cocaine, arms and people trafficking -- in Guatemala’s border provinces. They will also discuss an investigation from the Guatemalan Pacific that tells the story of Moyuta, Jutiapa, a town through which cocaine routinely moves and whose bloody politics is fueled by the drug trade.
The discussion will be moderated by Marielos Monzón, coordinator of the Ciclos de Actualización para Periodistas, a Guatemala-based program that provides journalists with investigative training. The seminar begins at 5 p.m. Guatemala Time and will be broadcast live in Spanish on YouTube and in English on Facebook.
