Most gold mining places are located in Africa south of Sahara, Latin America, the Caribbean pool and Southeast Asia. Organized crime is increasingly introduced into global gold supplies International law organized criminal groups are increasingly penetrating the structures of the mining industry. This is warned in its new report by the UN Drugs and Crime management (UNP UN). rapid development of technologies for using renewable energy sources sharply increased the demand for the so -called critical minerals, increasing the risk of crime, corruption and instability in supply chains, the report said. Crime networks are increasingly striving to gain control over deposits, trade routes and processing infrastructure. ~ 60 > in particular, according to UNP UN, organized crime was deeply rooted in gold supplies, where it is attracted by the high profitability of this sector and global increase in prices for this precious metal. “Serious global threat” 60 ~ p > organized crime is so involved in gold supplies, it is said that the current situation is already a “serious global threat”. Illegal networks are constantly adapting to hide the scale of criminal activity. Many of these groups have created bridgeheads in the legal business, which allows them to launder income and with relative ease to move the illegally obtained gold. ~ 60 > 60 > criminal groups not only contribute to the growth of violence, the spread of corruption and worsen the state of the environment, but also undergo vulnerable operations Groups of the population, increasing the risk of forced labor, forcible movement and sexual exploitation. ~ 60 > laws detention 62 >While the legitimate extraction of minerals is usually rigidly regulated in order to minimize harm to the environment, illegal production completely circumvents such restrictions. Cutting down forests for easier access to mineral deposits, criminal groups directly contribute to the destruction of the environment, degradation of fragile ecosystems and acceleration of the loss of biodiversity, especially when such activities take place in protected areas. 62 ~~ 60 > one of the most serious environmental consequences of illegal consequences of the illegal Gold extraction is the use of dangerous or prohibited chemicals by criminal organizations. ~ 60 > risks of transnational transportation although most gold mining places are located in Africa south of Sakhara, Latin America, Caribbean, Caribbean. The pool and Southeast Asia, gold processing plants are mainly concentrated in Europe, Asia and North America. As a result, before getting to the processing center, precious metal often crosses many boundaries. Transnational transportation creates the possibilities for both criminal operation and corruption activities by law enforcement agencies. ~ ~ 60 > criminal groups often introduce golden sources into a chain of legal deliveries, using weak supervision, inconsistent documentation and loopholes in regulation on trading trade routes.
