Suscríbete a VICE News aquí: Alrededor de la medianoche del 3 de mayo, Dana Seetahal, una destacada abogada y exsenadora de Trinidad y Tobago, acababa de salir de un casino en la capital de Puerto España cuando su vehículo fue detenido por otro auto bloqueando el camino. Una camioneta se detuvo al costado y soltó una ráfaga de disparos, matándola en un golpe bien orquestado. Su asesinato fue uno de los aproximadamente 170 que han ocurrido en la nación caribeña en lo que va del año, encaminándola hacia una de las tasas de homicidios más altas del mundo. El país vio solo 93 asesinatos en 1999. El año pasado, hubo 407. VICE News visitó los barrios marginales de Puerto España y habló con policías, activistas, líderes comunitarios y pandilleros para comprender el aumento de asesinatos en el país durante más de una década. Muchos de los asesinatos se atribuyen a pandillas callejeras despiadadas y políticamente conectadas que controlan territorios que a veces no son más grandes que una cuadra de la ciudad. Las pandillas se pelean por lucrativos contratos gubernamentales destinados a brindar servicios sociales y combatir el desempleo. Pero la violencia de las pandillas es simplemente un síntoma de un problema mayor. Trinidad se ha convertido en una parada importante para las drogas que se dirigen a África Occidental y Estados Unidos. Muchos observadores señalan al «pez gordo»: las élites políticas y comerciales anónimas que están detrás del narcotráfico y la cultura de corrupción endémica y asesinatos que lo acompañan. Se les acusa de convertir un país rico en yacimientos de petróleo y gas en su propio narcoestado personal, fomentando la impunidad a través de una red de sobornos y asesinatos. Sin embargo, a diferencia de las ganancias de la industria energética, este fenómeno se filtra hasta el nivel de la calle.

Alexander….. officer known for his gang affiliation and murderous rage
Biggest criminals are the politicians and police 💯
As a Trinidadian I advised u not to come here it is very dangerous
This video was 8 years ago. From what I've heard, Trinidad has gotten worse
Welcome to the Caribbean
Fake news
It is funny and depressing that if I didn't see the dates I would of thought this was shot recently, 8 years and the same old story on repeat. As a young Trinidadian this is just sooo damn depressing

Dude looks related to Muammar Gaddafi
What’s up with that Freemason shiz

i am from trinidad💯
"Tha kitchen at war wit tha bedroom" something my trini grandmother would say 🇹🇹
TRINI TO DI BOOOOOOOONE!🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 🦴
As a Trini, they need to do an update on this because this country is 10 steps lower than it was then. This place is for lack of better description, LITERAL DOG SHITE. The police and the government are problem, this place parades as a democracy but it’s nothing more than a shared dictatorship between to decrepit political parties that do nothing but launder money, and blame the citizens for our economical crisis with filled pockets. This place is garbage and it will never change. DO NOT come here to live.
Looks like they got a gang of Dues dues to blast cameras
What a waste of medicine
Police and government corruption has destroyed Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad's problem began and continues under the PNM government. They came into power using race hate open borders and a government that thrived on corruption and kickbacks. Once a safe and absolutely beautiful country.
As a Trinidadian I hate this place,if i could leave and move to USA or somewhere peaceful with low crime rate
the government it the biggest problem in trinidad
this is true
I couldn't understand the presenter's accent. Please look into providing captions.
Trinidad is an African Country, the government say so.
One can't help wondering where's the India community of Trinidad in the garbage here? Any left in the country?
stop make home here feel bad i love trinidad
8 years ago dang the times have changed
At first I was like why is ll cool j committing crime?
just in case it isnt clear the muslim dude is completely bullshitting
otherwise this may be the most accurate report on the state of crime and policing in Trinidad rn
Denmark is a safe and secure country with a very low crime rate. In addition to this, Denmark is one of the least corrupt countries in the world. There are high levels of social trust in Denmark, meaning Danes trust their government and each other.
Nobody I know say “mechaim“ we say cheers or salud
don’t speak for all of us
Will always love you Trinidad
He is the gang and have blocks
Sheesh Brother • • • Just taking a step back from what i learned about the country back in the late 80’s-90’s
To seeing how bad the situation has dissolved.
It’s almost like importing islam into a predominantly christian country has never ever worked out… let alone one that already has a fee huge problems of its own.
makes U wonder why it gotta B like that sumtimes…❔
Jamaica the same
3:48 Inspector Roger Alexander is wearing masonic jewelries, clearly showing he's a freemason.
“ yes a large man and I’m going to hide behind him “ lmao
Dready still alive?
LMFAAAOO SERGEANT ALEXANDER
The police just as corrupted
What's the point of being an oil wealthy nation if it looks like the ghetto parts of Jamaica,which is not wealthy? Not to mention all the murders…..It doesn't make sense…
8 years and nothing changed.. lavantille will always be a latrine
in a place like this … it is known who is hiding behind the curtain … find a way to get them … head of snake cut off … then work downward until no more parts of snake left … any and all means …
