Interesting analysis of the real costs and benefits of a transition in Venezuela. And what democratic actors need to understand.

De la mina a la joyería: así es cómo el oro ilegal de la Amazonía se lava en el sistema financiero de Estados Unidos | ESTUDIO
La minería ilegal de oro en la Amazonía tiene efectos hasta en Estados Unidos, donde el crimen organizado ha logrado meter el mineral en mercados legales y lavar sus ganancias, de acuerdo con el informe de la coalición Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency (FACT). El oro ilegal entra a Estados Unidos como importación formal pero con documentación falsa y mediante viajeros que aprovechan la flexibilidad del sistema estadounidense para no declarar ciertas cantidades de oro que entran al país.
