A Deep Dive Into Brazil´s Criminal Dynamics and Its Borders

Home to some of Latin America’s most sophisticated gangs, Brazil’s criminal actors are omnipresent smugglers along the Southern Cone’s borders. Neighboring Paraguay serves as a refuge for both the gangs and white-collar criminals, including savvy operators whitewashing millions of dollars.
On March 4, InSight Crime will host the latest in its series of events, entitled  “Border  Crime:  The  Northern  Triangle  and  the Tri-Border  Area,” delving into Brazil’s cross-border criminal dynamics.
