Bangladesh is used to move narcotics made in neighboring countries.[1] A 2007 report said that Bangladesh is now the main point for the movement and trafficking of heroin from Southeast Asia to the European market .[2]
A total of 10,331 homicides were reported from 2001 to 2003. This is a large increase.[3]
For the Asia Pacific region, Bangladesh is ranked as one of the main countries for software piracy.[4] It is believed that software vendors lose around 102 million US dollars every year to this black market trade.[5] There is no strict law to stop this practice.
In 2011 Bangladesh was ranked 120th for corruption in a list of 182 countries.[6] This means there appears to be a high amount of corruption in the country.
