Crime Outlasts Maduro’s Ouster

CaracasVenezuela’s criminal economy didn’t fall with Maduro.

Drug routes, mines and prison gangs still run without him, InSight Crime says.

The networks were never centered on one man — they’re embedded in security forces, prisons and armed groups, the group says.

InSight Crime says dismantling those networks, not removing leaders, is what would weaken them.
