Sectors at risk for illicit trade

Our sector-specific work stream

Illegal trade in agri-foods, alcohol, fisheries, forestry, pesticides, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, precious metals and gemstones, tobacco, wildlife, all forms of products vulnerable to trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy, and trafficking in persons is a major problem for a growing number of industries.

TRACIT’S sector specific work deals with the enablers and challenges faced in 12 sectors at risk of illicit trade.

Areas of activity

Organized Criminal Groups (OCGs) also often engage in more than one criminal activity to mitigate risks, reduce operational costs and increase profit margins. The OCGs involved in the trafficking of illicit goods are the most poly-criminal groups in the EU. […]Many OCGs are highly flexible and able to shift from one criminal activity to another or to add new criminal activities to their crime portfolio. The integration of digital systems in many criminal activities and the expansion of the online trade in illicit goods and services is transforming serious and organized crime. Criminals are increasingly adapting the supply chain models of global online retailers.
