How Ecudaor plays an ever growing role in the narco trafficking game:






  1. Drug Transit Route: Ecuador has become a significant transit route for drug trafficking organizations moving narcotics, primarily cocaine, from production countries in South America, such as Colombia and Peru, to international markets, mainly in the United States and Europe. The country's geographical location, with a long coastline and proximity to major drug-producing nations, makes it attractive for drug traffickers.
  2. Cocaine Production: While Ecuador is not a major cocaine-producing country, there were reports of clandestine laboratories operating within its borders for processing cocaine. This indicates that drug traffickers were attempting to expand their operations within Ecuador.
  3. Money Laundering: The influx of drug money into Ecuador has raised concerns about money laundering. Criminal organizations often invest in legitimate businesses to legitimize their illicit proceeds. The government has been working to strengthen anti-money laundering efforts to combat this issue.
  4. Corruption: Corruption within law enforcement agencies and government institutions has been a challenge in the fight against narcotrafficking. Some officials have been implicated in aiding drug traffickers or turning a blind eye to their activities.
  5. Violence and Crime: The presence of drug trafficking organizations can lead to an increase in violence and organized crime in certain areas. This can have a detrimental impact on the safety and security of local communities.
  6. International Cooperation: Ecuador has been cooperating with international organizations and neighboring countries to combat narcotrafficking. This includes working with the United States, Colombia, and other nations to share intelligence and conduct joint operations.
  7. Legal Reforms: Ecuador has made efforts to strengthen its legal framework to combat drug trafficking. This includes enacting laws to seize assets related to drug crimes and increasing penalties for drug-related offenses.
  8. Alternative Development: Some regions in Ecuador have been affected by drug cultivation due to economic reasons. The government has initiated alternative development programs to provide farmers with legal and sustainable alternatives to illicit crop cultivation.
