Piracy off the coast of Venezuela increased during the crisis in Venezuela. The situation has been compared to piracy off the coast of Somalia, which was also caused by economic collapse. As Venezuelans grow more desperate, fears of increasing incidents and range of piracy have been reported.[1] Venezuelan pirates often smuggle weapons, drugs and sex trafficking victims.[2] Authorities have also been involved in piracy near the coast of Venezuela.[2]
