Domingo Brief — When the CIA Doesn't Call First

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! A daughter's **safe deposit box** opens onto $4.66M in dollar cash, 141 properties, and a **former president's** collapsing dynasty. Two CIA officers die in an unannounced raid and a sitting president wants to sanction one of her own states. The largest rare-earths deal in history quietly closed in South America, while a single canal slot crossed $4M as the world reroutes around closed straits. Plus: Latin America just claimed its most valuable private fintech, a $3.4B jet deal toppled two cabinet ministers, and a payments company you haven't heard of pulled in $1.1B.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
