Beneath the surface of news headlines, we see scattered bursts of violence — street shootouts, drug raids, police chases. But beyond these “points,” what truly forms the full picture of the global underworld is a vast network woven across continents, spanning languages and cultures. Their footprints stretch across almost every corner of human society. Organized crime is not an accident of any single era, but the intersection of power, profit, and human nature. Born in the fires of war, strengthened in poverty, they learned to cooperate across oceans in the tide of globalization. Today, the underworld is no longer the one-dimensional, blood-soaked street gang of the movies, but an invisible empire capable of manipulating politicians, finance, ports, and the flow of information all at once.
