Explainer: How corruption facilitates organized crime
UNODC
Corruption and organized crime are often intertwined, with corruption playing a pivotal role in how organized crime groups operate and expand their criminal activities while evading punishment. Corruption enables criminal groups to smuggle illicit drugs, weapons, wildlife or even people within countries and across borders while evading detection and bypassing law enforcement.
Corruption not only facilitates transnational organized crime but also allows criminal groups to infiltrate and weaken public administration in many countries. This undermines governance structures, destabilizes institutions and poses a serious threat to public order and security.
