Drug smuggling is the illegal transportation of controlled substances, such as cocaine, heroin, or marijuana, across borders. This activity often involves organized crime groups that use various methods to evade law enforcement, including hidden compartments in vehicles, tunnels, or even using unsuspecting individuals as mules. Governments around the world combat drug smuggling through strict laws and international cooperation. Agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the United States and Interpol work together to track and apprehend smugglers, aiming to reduce the availability of illegal drugs and protect public health.
