AFC Trends & Typologies: How TOCs Exploit Fentanyl and Human Trafficking
Overview
This session explores how transnational organized criminal (TOC) groups exploit migrants at multiple stages - first by coercing them into smuggling fentanyl as mules and later by trafficking them. We’ll examine how the fentanyl trade intersects with trafficking networks, revealing the financial and operational tactics illicit networks use to extort, control and monetize vulnerable populations.
