This week, InSight Crime traces a massive transatlantic cocaine smuggling network with operatives on three continents. The ring, which had its command center in Dubai, concealed drugs in container shipments dispatched from Brazil to ports in Europe, where at least eight tons of cocaine and millions in cash were seized. The lucrative cocaine trade in Europe was also touched upon in an interview with Spanish journalist Javier Romero, who wrote a new book reconstructing the voyage of the first-known drug submarine to cross the Atlantic.
Other notable reports include Guatemala’s Attorney General’s Office mounting aggressive legal attacks against its own prosecutors investigating high-level graft; cocaine flowing from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico; and the CJNG cartel holding the Mexico resort town of Puerto Vallarta hostage.
