Caribbean Islands, route for drug trafficking from Venezuela

Abstract

The adaptation that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TNCs) within the illicit drug trade is very high, this adaptation includes the new forms of transport as the new routes that are used taking advantage of the conjunctural situations of each country in social, economic, political and cultural issues, that make this phenomenon a concern not only regional but worldwide, putting at risk the security of the countries that are affected by it, bringing meddled problems of hired assassins, trafficking of whites, extortion, kidnappings, among others. This article is based on information obtained and compiled essentially in open sources, in addition to making a comparison of data over a certain period of time, based on data from the International Center for Research and Analysis against Maritime Drug Trafficking (CMCON), where it is about demonstrating with arguments the importance of Venezuelan territory in the production and illegal trafficking of narcotics, which is used effectively by the OCT for their criminal acts, using various modalities such as "Illegal Deposit" and "Go Fast Boat" mostly. Subsequently, conclusions can be drawn based on the dynamics of current drug trafficking in the South American Caribbean, where it can be observed how these NEOs traffic different types of narcotics, mainly cocaine hydrochloride (HCC), since its proximity to Colombia, which is the main producer of this illicit substance, makes the transfer of this drug viable.
