Guatemala follows money in migrant smuggling investigations

Published on: Tuesday 23 August 2022

Guatemala follows money in migrant smuggling investigations When Guatemalan investigators raided the home of the alleged leader of a migrant smuggling ring in mountains near the Mexican border, they found some $51,000 in coins, nearly 100 slot machines and late-model vehicles purchased with cash. Guatemalans are paying as much as $15,000 to get the U.S. and prosecutors are increasingly trying to track where that money goes as the illicit business evolves. While villages once had a local trusted “coyote” to guide migrants, now large smuggling rings rake in many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
