Bringing the Fight to Organized Crime in Argentina
Argentina is a country that has historically been relatively insulated from organized crime dynamics, but the country has seen continued organized crime activity in important cities such as Rosario. One year into Javier Milei’s first term, security has improved with decreasing homicide rates, however challenges remain especially as transnational groups seek to continue expanding their presence in Argentina.
In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Martin Verrier, Secretary for the Fight Against Drug Trafficking and Organized Crime in Argentina. Together, they discuss the ways in which Argentina is seeking to disrupt transnational criminal groups operating in its territory, as well as improve cooperation with regional partners. They also delve into the state of Argentina-U.S. cooperation, and avenues for further progress in combatting crime and drug trafficking.
