Abstract
This paper points on problem of the illegal drug trade or drug trafficking. Today, that is a very actual problem closely connected with transnational organized crime. The illicit drug trade is very delicate problem and it operates similarly to other underground markets. For example, various drug cartels specialize in the separate processes along the supply chain, often localized to maximize production efficiency and minimize damages caused by law enforcement. It is significant that the chain ranges from low-level street dealers who may be individual drug users themselves, through street gangs and contractor-like middlemen, up to multinational empires that rival governments in siže. Besides that, in this paper we are going to look closely international legal sources for combating illegal drug trafficking as well as domestic legal sources - Croatian Penal Code with some relevant statistic information.
