Criminals are also offering fake coronavirus vaccines and home-testing kits to profit off the needs and fears of society. FMTNews

The purity of the cocaine arriving in Europe was ‘at the highest level ever recorded in the EU’.

Criminals are also offering fake coronavirus vaccines and home-testing kits as they seek to capitalise on global efforts to recover from the virus, the Hague-based agency said.“The impact on the lives of citizens, on the economy on the rule of law is too big. That’s what we see from this… report.” “Unprecedented quantities of cocaine are trafficked to the EU from Latin America, generating multi-billion-euro profits” for criminals in both Europe and South America, the agency said.The cocaine trade “fuels criminal enterprises that use their enormous resources to infiltrate and undermine the EU’s economy, public institutions and society,” said Europol.

But the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic last year had a further, major impact on the way organised crime gangs operated, Europol said. “Critical infrastructure will continue to be targeted by cybercriminals in the coming years. This poses a significant risk,” Europol said.
