Illicit Trade in Trinidad and Tobago

Situated at the crossroads of the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago plays a pivotal role in regional trade, serving as a vital link between North and South America. However, the dynamic economy of the nation has also positioned it as a magnet for various forms of illicit trade, spanning from the trade in counterfeit products and the smuggling of contraband to illegal wildlife trade and money laundering. These multifaceted challenges pose a significant threat to the nation's integrity, security, and economic well-being, compelling authorities to grapple with the daunting task of combating these illicit activities.
