The opiate industry involves various processes: obtaining precursors, extracting opium, processing it into heroin/morphine and trafficking onward activities that require an equally extensive network of traffickers. A recent UNODC/MCN joint research found that such networks existed in each province visited. The number of trafficking networks and the links they have with other networks varies between provinces. The two maps examine the major and minor trafficking networks in each province. 8 The same source and comment. 9 The CJTF Investigation and Laboratory Department Serious receive narcotics and intoxicating drinks cases sent by the Counter Narcotics Police and other law enforcement agency of Afghanistan Updated August

HAWALA SYSTEM Hawala is an ancient money-transfer system that traces its origins to South Asia. Relying heavily on trust and connections such as family relationships, the hawala system has come to be used all over Afghanistan. As is the case with any other remittance system, hawala can be - and is - used to launder money and support anti-government activities. Updated August
9 Joint MCN/UNODC researchers interviewed several key informants (mainly hawaladars) across 18 provinces of Afghanistan. While most Afghans are new to the modern banking system, it is perhaps unsurprising to note that hawala has a significant presence in the country (Refer to the Maps). The informal nature of hawala, a lack of strict law enforcement to prevent misuse of the system and the close-knit nature of Afghan society mean that the Taliban and other AGE can use hawala to bypass legal regulations.
