How the Dark Web Drug Supply Has Responded to COVID-19
The darknet drug markets suffered initial disruptions in shipment speeds before recovering to become more efficient than legitimate supply chain systems.
Like legitimate supply chains, dark web drug markets depend on substance imports from China, and the coronavirus pandemic led to closure of Chinese chemical supply firms and factories.
Importantly, drug dealers depend of legitimate trade routes to sustain their illicit commercial activities. The fact that EU borders remained open did not make things better for most of the darknet and legitimate supply chains as shipping capacities took a nose dive.
Nonetheless, although the coronavirus-related restrictions seemed to freeze operations across the global drug supply chains, the situation in the dark web economy was different. Mexican drug cartels suffered from the pandemicβs economic ramifications as user buying power tanked β meanwhile, the darknet drug markets did not really suffer a serious dent in drug sales.

Did Russian Spies Use Diplomatic Cover to Run a Global Cocaine-Smuggling Operation?
Six men await trial in Moscow and Buenos Aires, charged with operating one of the craziest, most ambitious narco-trafficking rings in history. Russiaβs embassy in Argentina was the storage depot and Russian government transport was intended to move a cartel-sized consignment of virtually uncut cocaine from South America to Moscow.
It was a transnational crime that astounded and confused the world, not least because authorities allege it was carried out by a small but resourceful cabal including one dirty embassy employee, one corrupt cop, and one charismatic chameleon who used some of the most secure Russian state real estate to store and smuggle $60 million worth of drugs.
According to the official narrative, they did it all right under the noses of innocent diplomats and intelligence officersβand they would have gotten away with it without the plucky joint police work of Russian and Argentinian law enforcement. But what if that neat conclusion, which will soon be presented in court, is intentionally incomplete, a whitewash designed to protect more senior officials in the Russian government?

German Police takes over illegal market places on Telegram
Among other things, drugs were traded in the telegram chat groups. Now they were confiscated by the police.
Drugs, forged documents or other illegal goods are not only to be found on marketplaces in Clear- or Darknet, but increasingly also on the Telegram messenger platform. Nine such chat groups were taken over and seized by the police after months of investigation. Administrators and dealers were identified and their homes searched.
