The Government of Trinidad and Tobago, through a public-private partnership of organisations has established the Anti-Illicit Trade Task Force (AITTF), an entity dedicated to tackling illicit trade on the legislative and enforcement front, so citizens and businesses are protected. The AITTF has established sub-working groups on alcohol, tobacco, cleaning agents and pharmaceuticals to assess the extent of illicit trade in these products, the specific enablers and recommend measures for action.

In the coming weeks, this series will examine four main areas – tobacco, alcohol, cleaning agents and pharmaceuticals – which are currently impacted by illicit trade in Trinidad and Tobago.

If you suspect items are being illicitly traded, please make an anonymous report to 800-TIPS (8477) or send a tip online at www.crimestopperstt.com
