Masterclass: Targeting Illicit Fentanyl Networks

The fentanyl crisis is a national security emergency. Production involves specialized brokers connecting Chinese and Indian chemical suppliers with Mexican TCOs. Corporate and digital footprints exist – investigators need the right data to exploit them. Learn how to map and dismantle fentanyl supply chains.

45 min

Illicit fentanyl networks operate across three continents with sophisticated supply chain discipline. Chemical suppliers in China and India maintain front companies to disguise their operations. Specialized logistics brokers coordinate precursor shipments. Mexican TCOs manage the final synthesis and distribution. Yet these networks leave detectable signatures in corporate registrations, bills of lading, chemical shipment patterns, and digital communications. Investigators who combine global trade data with digital footprint intelligence can identify choke points and dismantle supply chains before fentanyl reaches U.S. streets.
