This week, InSight Crime publishes an in-depth series on methamphetamine and fentanyl use in Mexico and the United States. Other highlights include a look at how a veteran trafficker, once known as the "king" of the Paraguay-Brazil border, surrendered after threats from Brazil’s most powerful crime group, the First Capital Command, or PCC. We also report on how an Argentine aviation tycoon sourced hundreds of drug planes through US registration loopholes; how massive seizures of cocaine in Puerto Rico point to the reactivation of drug flows after lockdowns; and how the landlocked country of Paraguay fits the bill for traffickers searching for new maritime cocaine shipping routes to Europe, which InSight Crime warned about in a recent investigation.
