Mafias, Companies and Banks
The operation of the "global network" of organized crime,requires an organization, or narco-new type of company.
To act strongly in global markets, operationalto wash the "dirty capital", the criminal organizations that use the most modern information technology is available on the market in terms of management.
The basic rule of no deposit all in only one type of capital investment for the operation is strictly followed.
Organized crime is present in the business of world of sports, entertainment and information, connecting the capital in real time, in the market of futures and derivatives, in large real estate transactions, among other sectors of the tip of the formal economy (and legal).
With the data available today it is possible to draw a sketch of the profile entities that run organized crime worldwide.
It is still necessary to investigate some doctrinal and conceptual definitions of what is being "organized crime".
The forecast of profits, the hierarchy, the division of work, liaison with state agencies, the planning activities and defining the area of performance.
The local influence is now just one point of contact with the consumer market "of products or services offered by criminal organizations.
The nature of transnational mafias and cartels and thus Mafia groups that had a tradition of activities limited to their own regions began to join, probably in the late 80s, to extend its influence to the most remote regions of the planet.
Included in this table are the old Italian and American mafia, the Japanese Yakuza, the Triads based in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, as well as the new Mafia groups in rapid expansion in West Africa and the newest Russian mafias (arising from the dismantling of the Soviet state).
In other words, the structure of organized crime came to be, predominantly, a transnational character, while the mechanisms for policing and prosecution preserved - and preserve - a national character.
It is important to establish, the difference between organized crime and economic crime.
The masters of the crime of capital gain illegal way, they increase it in the same way, for you bear fruit and multiply and thrive, they also use strategies crime.
The agent of economiccrime proceeds differently: the capital - industrial, trade, banking, land, etc..
- He bought, inherited or created the coolest way possible.
But if along the way obstacles arise, if a crisis threatens to destroy their profits, or the principal, he uses criminals.
The transnational character of trafficking is a process that has been materializing since the 1990s.
Italy, birthplace of the biggest mafias in the world now faces the internationalization of criminal activities of their organizations.
The Italian mafia looks in the 90 other investment fronts, never imagined by fiction writers, such diversity and daring: they are in Brazil, Japan, Russia, Colombia, Chechnya and even in China, offering money-laundering schemes in exchange for cocaine, heroin and weapons.
There is, especially from the Italian mafia, the absorption by organized crime techniques and methods of management of large multinational corporations.
But while the crime is to take international character, diversifying their schemes washing of dirty capital, the mechanisms of policing, intelligence and prosecution of states still preserve a typically national character.
Just to give you an idea of economic activities, the Italian government to discriminate in the following way: The main activities such as selling drugs, extortion, fencing of stolen goods, trafficking of arms, contraband cigarettes, the bank robberies, thefts of cars and more recently, kidnapping for ransom to obtain, especially committed by 'Ndranghetta.
Save the capital is invested in business to provide services, and real estate brokerage, multinational joint ventures with small, entertainment and production of tobacco.
Governments parameterized by Ronald Reagan (USA) and Margaret Thatcher (England) in 1980, created the political, economic and technology that enabled this change of character of organized crime.
That is, playing the "dirty capital, save for the criminal organizations have another dimension: The global market.
The proliferation and growth of mafias were encouraged by the neoliberal era, whose main brand is the deregulation of economic and financial transactions, combined with the ease of displacement of huge capital via computer systems.
Operating from 'financial havens', where no one asks the source of the money, the mafias inject its resources on capital markets, creating and sustaining international corporations and organizations respectable facade of' clean.
The 'dirty money' is thus transformed into speculative capital, eagerly expected, and generally well received, especially by the countries' emerging 'as Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.
The so-called tax havens, which operate on the basis of offshore companies (in popular language, "oranges" or "shell companies"), other routes are added to a web world on-shore, which resulted in a growing interpenetration between the capital "dirty" and saving the company that moves in financial markets.
It generated an economic crisis of global proportions.
On the profile of the new bandit it's a man of success, or rather, a successful buyer in the media.
It is an executive with mobile office, computer, which connects with the world in seconds from a hotel room of luxury.
He specializes in make money from crime navigate the global economy and generate exorbitant profits in countries where public assets are being privatized.
In the early 1990s, the famous Italian judge Giovanni Falcone recognized worldwide for its dedication to combating the Sicilian Mafia, believed that the main obstacle to the Mafia would be the great unifying language.
Today with globalization mafia engendered on the time-space and technological support of economic globalization, the language barrier was overcome: the Sicilian Mafia "talk" of peacefully with peers Yakuza (Japanese) or the Chinese Triads, or, its equal the Russian mafia and Colombian cartels.
Without limits for money laundering, they handle any business enterprise organization that acts in global economic scenario.
Experts from all fields of knowledge say that the current stage of development of what will, briefly, typify as "organized crime" should be, so central to the symbiosis woven by the operators of crime with the democratic state.
From the Far East, via China, Russia, Western Europe, Africa, USA and Latin America, there are examples of episodes in which public entities are confused - or merge - with the power structures of the mafias, cartels and secret societies whose products are drug trafficking and arms, extortion, pornography, trafficking in precious stones and human beings, among others.
Sheltered under the generous shade of the State, the high tech Mafioso´s are creatures that prefer this scenario of non-light, which may act and operate his "business" without unnecessary confrontations with the forces of government repression, far from the eyes of the media and uncomfortable society.
Silence and shadows are vital to them.
The 'Criminal of the Century is an independent man.
Not committed, is not involved, as the criminals of the past, with the powerful men of politics, police, the press, the Law, Justice.
The size of the trade in drugs, the most visible among the criminal business in the First World cities, is controversial: A sufficient number accepted, calculated by the United Nations, is 400 billion dollars (more than the global oil industry), employing close 20 million people and serving 70 to 100 million consumers.
Perhaps half of these consumers are in the United States, the largest market for drugs in the world.
However, the latest report released by the Office on Drugs and Crimes of the UN in June 2004 (UNODC, 2004), pointing towards the doubling of consumers would be 185 million people, nearly five percent of the population above 15 years of age: 146 million users of marijuana and hashish, 38 million of synthetic drugs, 13 million cocaine and heroin nine million.
The extraordinary is that is that even these numbers are modest in comparison with the reality - and that the social damage is more significant.
"Organized crime is a society that aims to criminal activity.
Generally seeks economic goals, profits, business, illegal enrichment ( theft, corruption of public money, drugs, etc.
)..
In general, there are five a category of "goods" around which engenders the organized crime their strategies: a) The provision of illegal services (gambling, prostitution, protection, etc.
).
b) The supply of illegal goods (drugs, pornography etc.
).
c) The infiltration of legitimate businesses (purchase and / or setting up businesses to operate legitimate schemes of "laundering" of money), d) The use of legitimate companies or to formally legitimate practice of crime (crime corporate, offshore companies etc.
).
e) Infiltration in the state structure and corruption of public servants and agentsConceptualization As organized crime-type business "Its most striking feature is transposed for the crime business methods, while they leave aside any remnant of concepts such as honor, loyalty, and obligations.
Business organizations are created to work in specific sectors, closely linked to the crime he typified as traditional.
That is, companies specialized in import and export of products in which they hide in the trafficking of drugs or weapons, or even, companies or groups created with one mission: carry the "laundering" of money.
What most distinguishes the crime of the other is a structure separate from the person, persons engaged in this organization.
An example: you get the Sicilian Mafia.
It perpetuates in time, organized structure, but it is distinct from its members.
You can remove a member, replacing a leader, but the structure remains.
While there is this structure that somehow stands apart from the individual, you will have a final product of a development that created a criminal organization.
You have a pyramid of power through which you can control the access of everyone.
Now when the organization is not as centralized, you have several groups interacting, and indeed the dome - which normally is not only in large organizations - cannot control everyone.
She has to make policy: take a piece of information here, let the staff interact there.
There is limited access, but often the lack of organization means that each group keeps information for them, information is power.
The model combines aspects of verticality, the view of the chain of command, with a vast network horizontal which we is closed.
That is, despite knowing the possible existence of other links, the fragmented information does not allow members of "delivering the game", such as the Clean Hands operation in Italy.
