US offers up to $3 million bounty for information on finances of powerful Haiti gangsThe U.S. on Wednesday offered a reward of up to $3 million and possible relocation in exchange for information on the financial activities of Haiti’s Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif criminal groups. Washington has designated both groups, which bring together hundreds of gangs in the capital Port-au-Prince, agricultural Artibonite region and central Haiti, as terrorist organizations. The US announcement marks a shift in tactics as previous bounties have been focused on individual gang leaders. More than a million people have been displaced by the conflict with gangs, which has exacerbated food insecurity, and close to 20,000 have been reported killed in Haiti since 2021. The UN estimated 1.45 million people were internally displaced across Haiti by the end of last year, with more than 400,000 displaced in the last year alone.
