G.1: Transnational/National Criminal Enterprises

Disrupt and dismantle transnational/national criminal enterprises impacting the United States.

Other Information:

The FBI is uniquely qualified to combat organized crime groups, which themselves are diverse in the scope and location of their operations. Although success has been evident against LCN and the Sicilian mafia, challenges lie ahead in dealing with Russian, former Soviet Union, and Asian criminal enterprises, which are constantly establishing new footholds among immigrant communities in the United States. Particularly troubling are these organizations’ involvement in human smuggling, which presents a threat to our national security. Major Theft Criminal Enterprise operations are focused on conducting intelligence-driven investigations which target organizations engaged in these highly profitable crimes. Major Theft Task Forces, which combine interagency law enforcement resources, are often utilized to address this nationwide problem. Priority Actions: Expand the intelligence base on transnational/national criminal enterprises engaged in racketeering or major theft activities. Increase the use of multinational initiatives such as the International Organized Crime Center and FBI-Hungarian National Police Organized Crime Task Force to target Eurasian criminal enterprises. Utilize and enhance alliances, task forces, and coordinated investigative efforts with domestic and foreign law enforcement counterparts to target and dismantle the most significant criminal enterprise threats Establish strong partnerships with corporate loss prevention and asset protection professionals to enhance the sharing of intelligence. Increase Intelligence Community partnerships to develop positive intelligence on transnational/national criminal enterprises. Penetrate these organizations through the development and placement of human sources. Support the national security mission through the identification, disruption, and dismantlement of Major Theft Criminal Enterprises that support terrorist activity, target key U.S. industries, and threaten the nation’s inter-modal transportation system.
