| Summary: |
This study shows the existence of organized criminal groups in the Mexican
territory engaged in the traffi c of protected species by taking advantage of
the same routes used by drug traffi ckers and, in many occasions, through the
diversifi cation of illegal traffi cking activities whether of humans, arms, drugs,
or wild animals. They usually obtain profi ts exceeded only by the illegal drug
business. Despite these facts, no regulation exists in Mexican legislation for
wildlife species traffi cking seen as an off ense committed by organized crime;
therefore, all the range of exceptional instruments created to investigate,
persecute and punish this kind of criminals cannot be used in these cases. The
content analysis method referred to books, specialized journals and magazines,
journalistic notes and United Nations documents have been used, with
an emphasis on data produced by the environmental crime committee about
the actions of organized crime groups. |
