Money Laundering Research Related to Narcotics Topics Build It, and They Will Come - Narcotics and Money Laundering in the Leeward Islands Contemporary drug traffickers from South America began using Caribbean island nations and the Bahamas in the 1970s for a variety of business and strategic reasons. With ever larger amounts of narcotics being produced, the Bahamas' close proximity to Florida, where traffickers had thousands of confederates, along with its development of a sophisticated system of bank and company secrecy over the past half century, made it exceptionally attractive to traffickers. The Bahamas became both a way station for drugs and a money laundering center, serving as a model for other small island nations. Alan A. Block and Sean Patrick Griffin
