Free Trade - Facilitating Transnational Crime?

From the Golden Triangle and the death camps of Wang Kelian, to the Islamic State and the siege of Marawi City, illegal trade flows and prospers. Today we ask our guest, who was at The Economist’s Global Illicit Trade Summit 2018, what has been, what’s not being done and what the consequences are for failing to stem the tide of illicit trade in the region.

Presented by: Sharaad Kuttan
