Kinahan cartel channels huge quantities of narcotics through African countries from South America

Daniel Kinahan’s drug cartel has been channelling huge quantities of narcotics through African countries from South America, a new report has revealed.

The study discovered that the shipments are on a much bigger scale than previously believed. The report compiled by the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) scrutinised the drug market in 16 countries.

It found both substantial local consumption and expanding transit flows to Europe and Australia from South America. The documents state the cocaine shipments are mostly sent in containers from the port of Santos in Brazil as well as from a stream of human carriers.
