#CovidCrimeWatch explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on illicit economies across the globe. In each edition, we publish a selection of stories from across the world that examine the relationship between the global health crisis and organized crime. From a slowing down of the drugs trade, to an increase in counterfeit goods, the spread of the virus will have dramatic consequences for the world of organized crime.
