Why it matters
The coordinated effort aims to disrupt the operations of criminal organizations that have diversified into illegal mining, migrant smuggling, and arms trafficking. By targeting cross-border financial networks, the measures seek to reduce the operational risks and security threats posed by these groups in the region.
InSight Crime monitors organized crime issues across Latin America, specifically focusing on the states of Jalisco and the country of Colombia.
