"An international drug cartel has long been using Bangladesh as a conduit for drug trafficking to other countries, taking help from a local crime syndicate and advantage of administrative loopholes, according to sources in police and tax administrations. Upon a request from the British government almost a year ago, the authorities have traced a syndicate trafficking drugs in the guise of a formal business by employing new techniques to use government machineries to its advantage."
