A new report by InSight Crime analyzes the impact of recent actions taken under Delcy Rodríguez’s leadership in Venezuela, questioning why organized crime persists despite efforts to dismantle it. The investigation focuses on key decisions including the extradition of Alex Saab to the United States, which was expected to disrupt criminal networks. However, the report suggests these actions haven’t eradicated the problem. It also examines internal purges within Venezuelan police forces and operations conducted in mining regions. These measures, while significant, have apparently failed to eliminate organized criminal activity. The findings suggest deeper, systemic issues are at play, allowing these groups to remain resilient even with high-profile arrests and crackdowns. Further investigation into the root causes is needed to address the issue effectively.
