This week, we delve into the long-awaited Final Report from Colombia’s Truth Commission, which spent three years studying the many aspects of the country’s brutal civil conflict. Included were indications on the overlap between organized crime and the conflict, particularly the role of cocaine trafficking, seen as fuel for the fighting. The report will have huge influence over the proposed peace process between President-elect Gustavo Petro and the rebels of the National Liberation Army.
Elsewhere, we look at the evaporating respect for the Catholic Church among Mexico’s criminal groups, and we unpack the complex international clamber to decide exactly where Sergio Roberto de Carvalho, the drug trafficker known as Brazil’s Pablo Escobar, will face trial.
