U.S.-registered aircraft may have been used in global drug trafficking due to weak oversight, a report alleges.
A new report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, discussed on NPR, alleges that U.S.-registered aircraft, including military or government-affiliated jets, may have been used in global drug trafficking networks.
The investigation highlights vulnerabilities in aviation oversight and enforcement, suggesting that some U.S. aircraft have facilitated illicit drug movements across borders.
While the report does not confirm direct involvement by U.S. government agencies or specific individuals, it points to systemic gaps that could allow private or military aircraft to be exploited by criminal organizations.
The findings underscore the need for greater transparency, stronger international cooperation, and improved monitoring of high-value aircraft to prevent misuse in smuggling operations.
