Drug trafficking is a worldwide problem and has an immense destructive power. Drug trafficking destroys government’s and their financial markets with an approximate annual value of drug trafficking of $500 billion. In order to maintain this illicit “business” drug cartels have to corrupt public officials and this leads to massive violence such as; murders, firearms offences, racketeering, conspiracy, bribery, tax evasion, banking violations and money laundry (McConville).
The narco-terrorist as they should be called, they have murdered hundreds of law enforcement officers, judges, and political leaders creating an atmosphere of fear. Furthermore, it is estimated that only in United States there is 20 million addicts, the highest addiction rate in the world. It is important to stop the international drug trafficking before more victims die or get killed.
