Abstract

TORRES-VASQUEZ, HENRY. TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME IN COLOMBIA. Díkaion [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.1, pp.109-130. ISSN 0120-8942.

The following article discusses the proliferation of delinquent behavior perpetrated by transnational organized crime. To do so, it looks at how the "Medellin Cartel" developed in the midst of the armed conflict in Colombia, the characteristics and genesis of its particular pattern of criminal activity in the country, and how it relates to the host of problems arising from the corruption and impunity prompted by the huge amounts of money obtained by delinquency of this sort through a variety of serious criminal offenses.

Keywords : Transnational Organized Criminality; Terrorism; Armed Conflict; Medellin Cartel; Pablo Escobar.
