    • Abstract:
      Contraband was an important component of the system of economic monopolies that Spain maintained with the Indies during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this illegal trade, the traffic of human beings followed the same pattern as that of merchandise. The illegal slave trade in the Caribbean region of New Granada had two main characteristics. First, the illegal trade of captives carried out by pirates, corsairs and foreigners. Second, the fiscal fraud conducted by Portuguese merchants who brought more slaves than permitted by their contracts. This type of illegal trade benefited from the complacency of provincial authorities and royal officials who profited enormously from the bribes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

      El contrabando fue un componente importante en el sistema de monopolio económico que sostuvo España con las Indias durante los siglos XVI y XVII. En este comercio ilegal, el tráfico de seres humanos siguió el mismo patrón que el de las mercancías. Fueron dos las expresiones principales de contrabando de esclavos que tuvieron lugar en el Caribe neogranadino. Primero, el contrabando de cautivos efectuado por piratas, corsarios y extranjeros. Segundo, el fraude fiscal que ejercieron los comerciantes portugueses trayendo más esclavos de los permitidos en los contratos. Este tipo de oficiales reales comercio ilegal fue favorecido por la complacencia de las autoridades provinciales y los que sacaban pingües beneficios gracias a los sobornos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
