Venezuela, South Africans citizens arrested overseas, Lawyers

Do you know what drug trafficking is? Are drug traffickers people who produce and distribute drugs in isolation or are they necessarily associated with the so-called drug cartels? Why are drug traffickers given the opportunity to be defended before justice? Is it possible that drug trafficking being one of the greatest evils in the world today, there are lawyers who defend the accused of this kind of offenses?

Drug trafficking is nothing but the production, distribution and sale of drugs that are illegal. Drug trafficking begins with the people who produce the drug, that in the case of drugs obtained naturally, are farmers who grow crops and who see in this as a way out of poverty. These peasants are not necessarily part of the drug cartels, nor are the people who traffic with small amounts to earn some money to improve their economy, although they usually end up being consumers who spend everything they have because they become drug addicts.

Even drug cartels are not always big organizations. Sometimes, they are just urban gangs fighting among themselves to win a territory to distribute the drug, other times they are multimillionaire empires led by powerful people.
