The Trump administration is intensifying its crackdown on organized crime by targeting corrupt foreign officials and their connections to drug trafficking. This new strategy, announced by Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche, emphasizes dismantling money-laundering operations linked to drug cartels, particularly highlighting the need for international cooperation in addressing corruption. The administration's earlier designation of several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations sets the stage for broader enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, moving beyond drug lords and encompassing their corrupt partners.
The new policy against white-collar crime implies that Washington will demand stronger action from countries like Mexico against corrupt public officials and drug cartels.
The dominance of cartels and international crime organizations erodes stability, the rule of law, and economic growth, necessitating a concentrated effort to dismantle their operations.
