narco-trafficking

Narco-trafficking is the illegal trade of drugs across borders, typically involving substances like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine. Criminal organizations produce, transport, and sell these drugs to make profits, often using violence, corruption, and sophisticated logistics to evade law enforcement. This illegal activity fuels violence, corruption, and social problems in many countries, impacting communities worldwide. Governments and agencies work to intercept shipments and dismantle trafficking networks to reduce their influence and associated harms.
