Read it:
Trinidad and Tobago, 1990 to 2026: an oil and gas state seven miles from Venezuela, where an airport terminal, an insurance empire and a football confederation each became a test of whether the islands could bring their powerful to a verdict, and where, researchers found, the state's own welfare contracts paid gang leaders whom officials called community leaders. From a coup to a clause proclaimed on Independence Day, from a prosecutor shot dead in her car to twenty-two million dollars in seized cash handed back overnight, the record shows investigations everywhere and convictions almost nowhere. Covers Ishwar Galbaransingh and Steve Ferguson and the Piarco airport contracts, Lawrence Duprey and CL Financial, Jack Warner and CONCACAF, Yasin Abu Bakr and the Jamaat al Muslimeen, and Dole Chadee and his Piparo organization.
