The organization is accused of running a synthetic drug manufacturing empire in large swathes of the under-policed jungles of Myanmar, a region marred by civil war and still under the control of various competing warlords and militias -- conditions that make it easy to hide industrial-scale drug manufacturing operations from law enforcement.
该组织被指控在缅甸的丛林里大片地区组建毒品王国，那里警察数量少之又少,各种军阀和民兵组织仍在内战——这一条件使其容易隐藏从执法工业规模的药品生产操作。
From there, Sam Gor has allegedly been able to procure large amounts of precursor chemicals, the ingredients to make synthetic drugs, and then move them across the region to nearby markets in Bangkok, but also to farther-flung ones in Australia and Japan, law enforcement said.

文件将山姆戈描述为一个“类似三合会的网络”——指的是在亚洲和北美活动的华裔帮派——但更灵活、更有活力。
The group's existence was revealed in 2016 after a Taiwanese drug trafficker was arrested in Yangon, Myanmar, the briefing showed.
