Abstract
In modern conditions, the illegal production and distribution of drugs has become a significant sector of the criminal sphere of the shadow economy, as evidenced by the dynamics of the production and distribution of various types of drugs on a global scale, as well as the drug business in the world economy, estimated by experts at 8% of the total volume of world trade [1].
The main factors that determine the development of the drug business, in fact, coincide with the determinants that determine the development of the shadow economy in all its manifestations, but it should be taken into account that the drug business represents an illegal and unlawful criminal sphere of economic activity for the production and distribution of drugs on a transnational scale.
