Transnational criminal networks are notoriously difficult to track due to their sophisticated operations. They exploit the global financial system to move massive amounts of illicit funds, often using complex techniques like triangulation to obscure the source of money. Furthermore, their ability to operate across multiple jurisdictions allows them to evade local law enforcement by moving operations to countries with weaker oversight or limited international cooperation agreements.
