Transnational Organized Crime: A Growing Threat to National and International Security

Transnational organized crime (TOC) poses a significant and growing threat to national and international security, with dire implications for public safety, public health, democratic institutions, and economic stability across the globe. Not only are criminal networks expanding, but they also are diversifying their activities, resulting in the convergence of threats that were once distinct and today have explosive and destabilizing effects. This Strategy organizes the United States to combat TOC networks that pose a strategic threat to Americans and to U.S. interests in key regions.
Penetration of State Institutions, Corruption, and Threats to Governance. Developing countries with weak rule of law can be particularly susceptible to TOC penetration. TOC penetration of states is deepening, leading to co-option in a few cases and further weakening of governance in many others. The apparent growing nexus in some states among TOC groups and elements of government—includ­ing intelligence services—and high-level business figures represents a significant threat to economic growth and democratic institutions. In countries with weak governance, there are corrupt officials who turn a blind eye to TOC activity. TOC networks insinuate themselves into the political process in a variety of ways. This is often accomplished through direct bribery (but also by having members run for office); setting up shadow economies; infiltrating financial and security sectors through coercion or corruption; and positioning themselves as alternate providers of governance, security, services, and livelihoods. As they expand, TOC networks may threaten stability and undermine free markets as they build alliances with political leaders, financial institutions, law enforcement, foreign intelligence, and security agen­cies. TOC penetration of governments is exacerbating corruption and undermining governance, rule of law, judicial systems, free press, democratic institution-building, and transparency. Further, events in Somalia have shown how criminal control of territory and piracy ransoms generate significant sums of illicit revenue and promote the spread of government instability.

Why Organized Crime and Terror Groups Are Converging

The Convergence of Organized Crime Groups and Terrorist Organizations

The convergence of OCGs and terrorist organizations has progressed rapidly over the past 25 years. Advances in technology and commerce that have benefited society and the economy have helped fuel the growth and expansion of TOC. Criminal organizations are very adaptive and are able to modify their behavior in response to pressure from governments and law enforcement. While this type of crime will likely never be eradicated, it can be hindered. Financial institutions are ideally positioned to identify suspicious activity and assist law enforcement’s investigations.
Financial institutions should also have a robust counter-financial-crime process in place by integrating their fraud, anti-money-laundering and cybersecurity functions to enhance their ability to detect and prevent illicit activity.

Just What Were Donald Trump's Ties to the Mob?

Ruthless mafia networks extending their influence:


"It is alleged that Russian organised crime figures have served as agents for Russia in east Ukraine, where they have been used to foment pro-Russian unrest, and transport arms and supplies to rebel groups.

At the recent inquiry into the London murder of Alexander Litvinenko, a court heard that the former KGB spy and Putin critic was killed after threatening to expose links between the Kremlin and Russian organised crime gangs.

"A significant part of Russian organised crime is organised directly from the offices of the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin's Russia is a mafia state," alleged prosecutor Ben Emmerson.

The claims echoed those of a Spanish judge, who in the 2010 WikiLeaks cables alleges that Russian officials and security services were tightly bound together."

"They write I'm the mafia's godfather. It was Vladimir Ilich Lenin who was the
real organizer of the mafia and who set up the criminal state."
-Otari Kvantrishvili, Moscow organized crime leader.l

"Criminals Nave already conquered the heights of the state-with the chief of the
KGB as head of a mafia group."
-Former KGB Maj. Gen. Oleg Kalugin.2
Introduction
As the United States and Russia launch a Great Crusade against organized
crime, questions emerge not only about the nature of joint cooperation, but
about the nature of organized crime itself. In addition to narcotics
trafficking, financial fraud and racketecring, Russian organized crime poses
an even greater danger: the theft and t:rafficking of weapons of mass
destruction.
To date, most of the discussion of organized crime based in Russia and
other former Soviet republics has emphasized the need to combat conventional-style
gangsters and high-tech terrorists. These forms of criminals are
a pressing danger in and of themselves, but the problem is far more
profound. Organized crime-and the rarnpant corruption that helps it
flourish-presents a threat not only to the security of reforms in Russia, but
to the United States as well. The need for cooperation is real. The question
is, Who is there in Russia that the United States can find as an effective
partner?

"Here he goes again. Donald Trump’s incontestable and extensive connections to the Russian intelligence services are back at the forefront, where they belong. Congress is hopping mad, as they should be, and Democratic lawmakers are calling for a wide-ranging counterespionage investigation into Trump’s activities and interactions with the Russian Federation and the various hackers, plural.

This is unprecedented in modern American history...
This election is drawing to a close soon enough, but until that time it is imperative the American people understand Donald Trump is firmly under the thumb of malign foreign influence — specifically, Russia’s.
