https://www.insightcrime.org/investigations/seven-reasons-venezuela-mafia-state/

7 Reasons for Describing Venezuela as a ‘Mafia State’

Venezuela does not have a long tradition of organized crime. Indeed, until very recently it was the Colombian mafias who controlled much of the drug trafficking, extortion and kidnapping, and these were largely confined to the border states.

Today crime is rampant, and Venezuela is likely the kidnap capital of Latin America, although there is no hard data to support this claim.
For decades Colombia exported conflict and criminality to Venezuela, as that country’s civil conflict spilled over the frontier. Colombian drug trafficking organizations and warring factions set up shop, turning Venezuela into a logistics base, safe haven and one of the principal transit nations for Colombian cocaine.

You can say the same about the Americans who worked with them, they knew this in 1991, months after the Ochoa brothers and Escobar turned themselves in, Uribe’s ties had been picked up by the US ‘ Defense Intelligence Agency, which claimed the then-senator was “dedicated to collaboration with the Medellin Cartel,” according to declassified documents.

The widow of Pablo Escobar and her son are in prison in Argentina for suspicion of money laundering. Victoria Henao, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao and also football player Mauricio Serna are suspected by several media in a study of a Colombian drug lord.
An investigating judge in Argentina suspects Henao of membership of a criminal organization that laundered criminal money. They would have worked for Colombian drug suspect José Piedrahita. They managed real estate and a well-known tango café.
The ties between the Escobar family and Argentina have been around for a long time. Henao and her son changed their name and settled in that country in the nineties. They are called María Isabel Santos Caballero and Juan Sebastián Marroquín Santos. Henao had been detained for some time in 1999.
Mauricio "Chicho" Serna used to play with Boca Juniors, the characteristic club from Buenos Aires and won the Copa Libertadores in 2000 and 2001. In 1998 he played for Colombia at the World Championships in France.

Turin businessman and wife killed in ambush in Colombia

Roberto Gaiottino, a 44-year-old construction contractor from Barbania, and his wife Claudia Patricia Zabala Dominguez, 36, were killed Saturday evening in Colombia at the exit of a restaurant on Circunvalar de Pereira Avenue in Risaralda, the city of Claudia Patricia.

The two, married since 2015 but together for a longer time, had just had dinner with a Colombian friend who remained unharmed in the shooting, which caused panic among passers-by. On the matter the federal police excludes robbery, leaning towards a targeted ambush.

Roberto Gaiottino belongs to a dynasty of building contractors who has long expanded the interests of his business to Colombia, while Claudia lived in Italy - in Barbania - for 15 years and often returned to Colombia to find family members. The bodies will be repatriated for the funeral in Barbania where the couple, who had no children, lived in a villa in the center.

Cocaine production hits an all time high in Colombia. Increased by 19 percent from last year.


How is it that even thou all the big cartels seems to loose power, the cocaine production rises every year. Could it be that European groups plays a much larger role in the coke trade than before?

I personally think that when one cartel becomes weak due to police arrests,raids or other; there is always another cartel ready to pick up the slack. When there is too much money at play you will always find someone to fill the void.

Always wondered how it is Colombia that managed to spawn such top tier criminal organizations in the region. Other South American nations like Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Venezuela...face similar problems in regards to poverty, especially Venezuela seems to be an even more violent nation and the cultivation of coca takes place the most in Bolivia or Peru. Yet organized crime syndicates in those other South American nations are not as widespread and not as notorious as the Colombians'.

You make a very good point. Possibly, Colombians have better entrepreneurial skills ?

The Colombians have connections to US and Europe, thanks to the CIA.

Last week a joint action by the Colombian and Spanish police led to the arrest of Edilia Vargas (aka "La Pibe"), who coordinated the cocaine shipments in fruit loads to Europe, the investigation to find the location of Vargas took a year. The intelligence services discovered that Vargas had arrived in Colombia, accompanied by her two sons and her partner, with the aim of visiting some relatives.
The partner of Vargas is a Spanish citizen and would be involved in the cocaine trade in the service of drug traffickers in Europe.

The drug trafficker Miro Niemeier Risvanovic, called 'The Russian', was found dead in Pereira, the Colombian city of the so-called Triangle of coffee: the local press reported, pointing out that the man, of Bosnian-German origin, would have been murdered together with his partner. Risvanovic in August last year was extradited from Italy after his capture in Civitavecchia by Interpol on charges of drug trafficking. According to the newspaper El Tiempo, Risvanovic was linked to Dairo Antonio Usuga, head of the Gulf Clan, a Colombian paramilitary organization dedicated to drug trafficking and other criminal activities. But Risvanovic would also have been the liaison between the Colombian mafia and the Calabrian 'ndrangheta, with the task of "coordinating the transport and distribution of drugs from South America to Europe", reports the daily El Diario.
