This week, InSight Crime delves into coca growing in Peru, where the pandemic halted eradication efforts and led more poor farmers to sow coca for sustenance. We also look ahead at what's in store for Colombia's Urabeños, aka the Gulf Clan (Clan del Golfo), after the capture of the drug group's longtime leader Dairo Antonio Úsuga, alias "Otoniel."
Other notable reports include repeated bombings of oil pipelines by Colombia's National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional – ELN); increasing bloodshed in Panama's gang wars; and Latin America's booming synthetic drug trade, which includes the mass manufacture of methamphetamine and fentanyl in Mexico.
