This week, InSight Crime investigates how El Salvador’s government has been implicated in aiding the escape of a top MS13 gang leader into Guatemala, mere months before the beginning of an intense crackdown on gangs that has so far led to the arrest of close to 50,000 alleged gang members.
We also look at the assassination of the son of former Honduras President Porfirio Lobo Sosa by a professional outfit, which authorities quickly, and without any hard evidence, blamed on the MS13. Meanwhile, in Mexico, we review what impact the capture of Rafael Caro Quintero -- co-founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, and the man known as the “narco of narcos” -- will have on the country’s criminal dynamics (spoiler alert: not much).
