Crime Cartel

A crime cartel is an organized group that operates illegally to control and profit from unlawful activities, such as drug trafficking, smuggling, or illegal trading. These groups often work systematically, coordinating efforts to avoid law enforcement detection and maximize profits, while maintaining their influence through intimidation and corruption. Their operations can disrupt communities, create security issues, and undermine legal systems. Understanding cartels involves recognizing their structured hierarchy and the threats they pose to public safety and governance.
