TRACIT presents report to EMEA Security Conference

8 November 2023, Dubai, UAE - The Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade (TRACIT) today published its latest report, Exposing Supply Chain Vulnerabilities to Illicit Trade: A global report on dynamics, hotspots and responses across 10 sectors, at the EMEA Security Conference & Exhibition.
The multidimensional report examines systemic weaknesses in complex supply chains to expose vulnerabilities in transportation modalities and hotspots that traffickers exploit to advance illicit trade, including e-commerce platforms, free trade zones and postal systems. The report also accounts for the poly-criminal nature of illicit trade and appraises the knock-on effects on organized crime, corruption, money laundering and forced labor.
“The supply chain is the engine that drives the global economy,” said Stefano Betti, TRACIT Deputy Director-General. “But every additional layer of complexity or fragility creates new opportunities to divert goods from legitimate distribution networks or to disguise the illicit nature of an operation.”
