CIMA Newsletter / March 2026 Edition: Illicit Trade in Latin America: March 2026 Marks a Turning Point in the Regional Fight


CIMA NEWSLETTER: Monthly analysis of operational and strategic illicit trade events in Latin America, developed by the Center for Research, Monitoring, and Analysis of Illicit Trade (CIMA).


🚨 March marked a turning point: illicit trade in Latin America became more sophisticated.


In March, CIMA identified major seizures and new dynamics confirming its expansion across the region.


Key highlights of the month:


  • Artificial intelligence is already strengthening money laundering networks.

  • The trade dispute between Colombia and Ecuador is driving illegal routes.

  • Smuggling is displacing formal commerce.

This is not just smuggling. It is organized crime with transnational reach.
