Covid-19 is reshaping and challenging governments, societies and economies in previously unimaginable ways–but gangsters and profiteers have adapted. They have found new routes for illegal commodities, from narcotics to people.

Unscrupulous fraudsters are touting fake remedies to desperate people: counterfeit drugs, and trafficked wildlife used in traditional medicine.
