Combatting the Transnational Organized Criminal Economy

Mar 23, 2023

Transnational Organized Criminal (TOC) groups and their proxies are part of a much larger centralized global criminal network.  And the threat is larger than many expect - the intersectionality of global TOC actors has resulted in a billion-dollar shadow economy fueled by human and drug trafficking.

In this episode, we are joined by Anthony Stephen Malone, former Intelligence Agent and British Paratrooper.  Anthony reveals the secrets of interconnectivity in global crime networks he has encountered throughout his years of military service.

Key topics:

  • How inaction emboldens cartels
  • The UK's preparation for the expected flood of fentanyl 
  • Strategies used by transnational organized criminal networks
