The U.S. government on March 25 announced a bounty of up to $3 million for information on the finances of Haiti’s Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif gangs.
The United States designated both groups, which bring together hundreds of gangs in the capital Port-au-Prince, the agricultural Artibonite region, and central Haiti, as terrorist organizations in May 2025.
