A criminal organization is a structured group of individuals who collaborate to engage in illegal activities for profit or power. These groups often operate in secrecy and can vary in size and complexity, ranging from small gangs to large syndicates. They may be involved in various crimes, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. Criminal organizations often have a hierarchical structure, with leaders who make decisions and lower-level members who carry out tasks. They may use violence, intimidation, and corruption to maintain control and protect their interests. Law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI or Interpol, work to dismantle these organizations and bring their members to justice.
