For the computer
economic simulation, see Drug Lord (computer game) A drug lord or drug baron is the term used to describe a person who controls a sizable network of persons involved in the
illegal drugs trade. Such figures are often difficult to bring to justice, as they might never be directly in possession of something illegal, but are insulated from the actual trade in drugs by several layers of underlings. The
prosecution of drug lords is therefore usually the result of carefully planned infiltrations of their networks, often using
informants from within the network.
