Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the illicit drug market, changes in their smuggling, and drug identification options
Original language description
The paper assesses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on drug markets, where the situation is still evolving and there is increasing data availability on how smugglers are adapting to the changes associated with the coronavirus infection. The presentation aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the tangible effects of this pandemic and its potential impact on the current global crisis and the increased threat of terrorism. The analysis of how the pandemic took place and to what extent it affected the production and trafficking of various drugs, including their countries of origin and the routes by which these substances are transported to their final destinations, also serves this purpose. At the same time, issues related to the latest trends in drug trafficking and distribution at the retail level are also considered, including the use of both the traditional and black web (Darkweb). Finally, some results of measuring the seized drug samples using the method of instrumental neutron analysis are presented, which allows with high sensitivity and accuracy not only the detection but also the identification of smuggled drugs, and thus the estimation of their origin, which is extremely beneficial for criminologists.
