Some Observations on Changing Business Practices in Drug Trafficking: The Andean experience

Menno Vellinga

Global Crime, 2004, vol. 6, issue 3-4, 374-386

Abstract: The field of cocaine production and trafficking has become more differentiated and the enterprises have become more heterogeneous. A new generation of traffickers has entered the business. They are low profile, cautious and they organize the trade in an informal way. They have a different style of operation than the druglords in the epoch of the big ‘cartels’. The use of individual couriers smuggling small amounts of cocaine while using normally scheduled flights has increased spectacularly presenting new challenges to law enforcement.
