  • The "triple frontier" is the Tri-Border area where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet.
    With a population of more than half a million spread across the border cities of Puerto Iguazú (Argentina), Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), the Tri-Border region has often posed considerable challenges to local and international law enforcement.
    Given its geographical layout - with the Paraná and Iguazú rivers that separate the states creating many entry points - and the region’s strong economic and social linkages, the Tri-Border area is conducive to a wide range of illegal activities, notably the purchase and sale of drugs, firearms, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, stolen cars and money laundering.
    Studies have estimated the size of illicit economies in the Tri-Border area to be in the tens of billions of US dollars each year.
    Among the criminal organizations in this region identified by local police, is the Italian group, the 'Ndrangheta, considered one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal groups in the world.
