I've seen the devastating impact of drug abuse and illicit trafficking firsthand. That's why the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking hits close to home. This global observance, established by the UN, is a sobering reminder of the consequences of substance misuse and illegal drug trade. The statistics are staggering - from the average age of 13 when children experiment with drugs, to the fact that over 50% of all suicides and violent crimes are linked to drug and alcohol abuse. In my line of work, I've encountered far too many cases where addiction or involvement in illicit activities has torn apart communities. As private investigators, we have a unique vantage point and ability to shed light on these complex issues. This International Day, I urge my fellow PIs to reflect on how we can collaborate with law enforcement and support prevention efforts to disrupt the cycle of substance abuse and illegal drug trade. #PrivateInvestigation #DrugAbuse #IllegalDrugTrafficking #CommunityImpact #drugtrafficking #drugs #cartels

UK: Suspected increase in marijuana production as Albanian groups use social media to recruit members. A probe by Express has highlighted efforts from UK-based Albanian crime groups to entice Albanian people to move to the UK and work in marijuana plantations, saying that they could earn between GBP 5,000 to 6,000 a month. Social media posts on Instagram and TikTok show large amounts of cocaine and industrial-scale marijuana production taking place in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Southampton, Leeds, and other UK cities. Multiple Instagram accounts that glorify the production of marijuana in the country have been found, while posts also feature guns and knives. The posts are believed to indicate a significant increase in the number of UK marijuana farms in operation. The National Crime Agency stated that they work with partners in the UK and around the world, including in Albania, to disrupt organised crime groups. Albanian organised crime gangs are believed to have become the number one producers of marijuana in the UK. To learn more about their activities in the marijuana trade, watch our report - part of our 8-part series on Albanian organised crime - below: https://hubs.ly/Q02tT-w20 #OrganisedCrime #Policing #Police #Crime #SecurityProfessionals

This has been known for a long time and many #prescription owners are #trafficking their own #drugs even before #orgcrime becomes involved. Meanwhile, their prescribed amounts only keep increasing. Where’s the #duediligence on the #doctors end? #askquestions #pharma #drugtrafficking Also, we need more #frontline members talking about what’s really happening in the #community. It would be more #timely, #relevant, and #truthful than hearing what #politicians have to say, and what #media thinks is important. #editing #softsell #halftruths #newsupdate #news #organizedcrime #safesupply

Congratulations to Europol and the #Polish and #Ukrainian law enforcement agencies on this significant operation. The synthetic drug trade is just one part of a broader challenge of #illicittrade. Criminal syndicates involved in #synthetic #opioid production are not limited to the illegal #drug trade alone. These poly-criminal groups often diversify their activities, to trading in #illegalpharmaceuticals to #counterfeit goods and other illicit activities including #humantrafficking, #forcedlabor and #environmental crimes. Fighting such multifaceted threats requires a comprehensive strategy and sustained international cooperation. By addressing the interconnected nature of illicit trade activities, we can dismantle these networks more effectively and protect public health, safety, and legitimate markets.
