Message
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in India takes great pride in our joint investigative efforts with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence. Through our collaborative efforts over the years, DEA and DRI have targeted the kingpins of global drug trafficking networks. These violators are involved in financial, criminal, and even terrorism-related acts. The pursuit of these major coordinators within these organizations requires unique and special skills as well as resolve in order to protect the citizens of both India and the United States. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has routinely proven their dedication and determination through the years despite the potential risks and the complex nature of extensive international criminal networks.
As a result of this cooperation between India and the U.S., the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has prevented the distribution of hundreds of millions of dosage units of pharmaceutical drugs being smuggled from India, conducted numerous arrests and made substantial seizures of precursors and other controlled substances. India is one of the main producers in the legitimate global supply of medicines and chemicals and with the United States as a major consumer, this DEA and DRI partnership is vital to the safety of citizens in both India and the United States.
The Drug Enforcement Administration in India looks forward to a continuing and sustained relationship with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence. This combined might and strength can only result in even greater success and deter criminal networks operating in both of our countries.
