Organized Crime

It’s not just the Mafia anymore.

Today, organized crime comes at us from every corner of the globe. We work to cripple these national and transnational syndicates with every capability and tool we’ve got: undercover operations; confidential sources; surveillance; intelligence analysis and sharing; forensic accounting; multi-agency investigations; and the power of racketeering statutes that help us take down entire enterprises. We also work closely with our international partners—in some cases, swapping personnel—to build cases and disrupt groups with global ties.
