The Rise of Transnational Russian-Speaking Organized Crime
Walter Kegö and Aïssata Maïga
Transnational Russian-Speaking Organized Crime is a growing scourge for the whole of Europe. Taking advantage of its unique “assets,” it also exploits eased border controls, new technologies, and legal loopholes. As such, it is difficult to combat with only isolated successes having been scored amid a lack of sustained and coordinated strategies between European countries and agencies. If it is to be prevented from flourishing further, more concrete steps need to be taken to combat its rise.
