Description

In our last episode of this season we explore the incredible life of Raúl Mijango, the rebel turned congressman turned gang mediator turned inmate who personified what has since become a lost cause in El Salvador: negotiating with street gangs. And, ironically, may have been one of the first victims of a controversial, hard line strategy that has since led to the incarceration of tens of thousands of Salvadorans.

At InSight Crime, we investigate from the ground up, inspired by the idea that organized crime is not a boring multisyllabic expression or yet another true-crime story from the suburbs, but a matter of life and death for millions of people across the Americas.

InSight Crime has investigated organized crime in the Americas. We've interviewed thousands of people, from government insiders to victims caught in the crossfire, from criminal operators to tireless NGO leaders. We've also witnessed firsthand the many masks that organized crime wears in places where corruption often takes center stage. Throughout, we've discovered tales of anguish, resilience, unexpected joys, and undying hope. Join us on our podcast, as we decipher the various layers of corruption, unravel the complex dynamics of crime, and bear witness to the indomitable human spirit.
