A crime syndicate is a structured group of individuals engaged in illegal activities, often organized to profit from criminal enterprises. These groups can operate on local, national, or international levels and may involve various illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. Members of a crime syndicate typically have specific roles and responsibilities, allowing the organization to function efficiently. They often use violence or intimidation to maintain control and protect their interests. Law enforcement agencies work to dismantle these syndicates to reduce crime and improve public safety.
