Join us Thursday, February 25, when InSight Crime will discuss cross-border criminal dynamics in Paraguay. The event is part of our ongoing series of events on Central America’s Northern Triangle and the Southern Cone’s Tri-Border Area. Paraguay is a contraband smuggler’s paradise thanks to its lax regulatory and law enforcement oversight and endemic corruption. The South American country has also evolved into a key link in the regional drug trade. InSight Crime Co-director Steven Dudley will be joined by Ángela Olaya, the project’s coordinator, and Carlos Peris, an investigator with Paraguay’s Universidad Católica Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, who will map out the country’s criminal actors and illicit economies using our online dashboard, which was developed during the two-year project. The discussion will be moderated by Juan Martens, a professor of criminology at the Universidad Nacional de Pilar in Paraguay. The event kicks off at 3 p.m. Paraguay time and can be viewed in English and Spanish. And if you missed this week’s discussion on Honduras, you can view it here.
