Protecting Against the Diversion of Product Donations
Manufacturers, NGO’s and other supply chain partners work diligently to facilitate the delivery of donated medical devices, prescription medicines and other critical supplies to people in countries and areas where the ravages of natural disasters, war and political instabilities put these lifesaving supplies and services out of reach for those affected most. Organized crime groups, corrupt government officials and unethical wholesale distributors devise and execute illicit and unethical schemes known as diversion and “U-boating” (where shipments leave the US by vessel, make a U-turn around the statue of liberty, and return back to the US under the cover of darkness) to acquire access to these products, create fraudulent paper trails that indicate the supplies were delivered as intended, and then re-sell the products back into the US supply chain. This sophisticated and unmitigated criminal scheme victimizes the needy yet again, steals hundreds of millions of dollars of donated goods annually, and defrauds US companies and tax payers.
Further complicating a scheme that has traditionally been viewed as white collar crime, terrorist organizations, international crime gangs and drug trafficking cartels are now joining forces to commit increasing numbers of cargo hijackings, often with extreme violence, and then selling the stolen contraband through these same black market secondary channels of distribution. Protecting against this type of fraud is critical to the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe every year, not to mention protecting US jobs.
In this environment, manufacturers, NGO’s and legitimate wholesalers must endeavor to do everything possible to proactively mitigate and deter this type of criminal activity. But when deterrence is made difficult due to sophisticated and daring criminal organizations, not to mention corrupt government officials that are willing to chance the crime in exchange for high rewards, industry must have a proactive strategy designed to support law enforcement efforts to combat and mitigate such criminal activity. GTOC’s event-driven automated monitoring software enhances security efficiency and compliance, mitigates theft and fraud, reduces the costs of “eyes-on” monitoring, and enables real-time recovery of stolen goods in collaboration with law enforcement authorities and regulatory officials globally.
