Now, the drug dealing business has moved online – prompting law enforcement officials to navigate the dark web to crack down on drug traffickers. For those seeking the drugs, Hamerstone says it can be easier to search the dark web than having a dealer meet them in person. The goal of the Joint Criminal Opioid Darknet Enforcement (J-CODE) team is to navigate the dark web for illegal drug sale activity, specifically opioids, Sessions said on Monday during a speech in Pittsburgh. The dark web is not uncharted territory for the FBI. Sessions said the allocation of resources toward dark web opioid trafficking investigations comes at a time when drug sales have become more common online.
