Nicaragua has long been able to keep homicide rates down, burnishing the country’s anti-crime reputation. But as these case studies illustrate, the most sophisticated criminal groups often operate with a blessing from regional and national elites.
This three-part investigation fits into our long-term, ground-breaking series on Elites and Organized Crime in the region, laid out on our In-Depth page. This series, to date, has profiled complex corruption networks between the highest levels of political power and organized crime groups in Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras.
This series, which includes years of field work in Nicaragua, was produced in conjunction with our partner organization, Expediente Abierto.
