drug conspiracy
Narcotics trafficking scheme
Drug conspiracy is a criminal charge for agreeing with others to manufacture, distribute, or traffic illegal drugs—even if the drugs never actually change hands.
The charge targets the planning and coordination rather than the substances themselves.
Prosecutors favor conspiracy charges because they can ensnare everyone involved in an operation, from kingpins to lookouts: She was convicted of drug conspiracy for her role as a courier.
