This week, InSight Crime looks at the varied long-term consequences of letting gangs amass power unchecked. In Haiti, the increasing influence and ambition of local criminal actors is drawing international attention. In Argentina, the Monos’ ability to operate from behind bars continues to catch security forces short. And in Belize, repeated states of emergency intended to deal with gang violence risk becoming toothless.
Elsewhere, we look at how assets seized from drug trafficker, Memo Fantasma, are being put to good use, how the Brazil-South Africa cocaine trafficking route feeds three continents and how the Dominican Republic has made encouraging, if fragile, progress in cracking down on corruption.
