This week, InSight Crime and Universidad Iberoamericana hosted a conference on synthetic drugs and precursor chemicals in Mexico City. The event brought together investigators, experts, and policymakers to explore the precursor chemical supply chain, fentanyl’s impact on organized crime and the effects of synthetic drugs on society and the environment in Mexico and beyond.
InSight Crime continues to offer authoritative coverage of all angles of the continued boom in synthetic drugs. The latest chapter of our 11-part investigation into synthetic drugs in Mexico outlined the methods used by criminal groups to finance precursor chemicals and launder money while successfully evading the scrutiny of Mexico’s financial authorities.
