Study Mandated to Track Financing of Illegal Synthetic Drugs and Fentanyl.
This law requires the government watchdog (GAO) to conduct a detailed study on how transnational criminal organizations finance and operate the trafficking of synthetic drugs, such as fentanyl. The goal is to understand how criminals use social media and payment apps to sell drugs and launder money, enabling the government to disrupt these networks and better protect citizens from deadly substances. The study is intended to identify gaps in current US government efforts to combat this illicit finance.
