Underworld organizations

Underworld organizations are illegal groups engaged in activities such as drug trafficking, human smuggling, extortion, and money laundering. They operate covertly, often using violence and corruption to maintain control and avoid law enforcement. These groups can vary from small, localized gangs to large international syndicates, each with structured hierarchies and codes of conduct. Their activities undermine legal economies, destabilize communities, and pose significant societal threats. Understanding their operations helps authorities develop strategies to combat organized crime and protect public safety.
