[HIGHLIGHTS] Mexico is the world paradise of 'criminal markets'

Mexico is ranked number one on a list of 193 where illicit economic activities are classified. The Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) says the upward trends in Mexico are very worrying.

In this index, Myanmar, Colombia and Mexico occupy the first three places, in that order. Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of the Congo follow. The weapons that empower organized crime come mostly from Mexico's first trading partner: the U.S. According to the report, between 70% and 90% of the guns that appeared at crime scenes in Mexico came from the United States.
