THE VARIED METHODS AND TYPES OF INVOLVEMENT OF ORGANIZED CRIME WITH LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES ARE DISCUSSED.
Abstract
ORGANIZED CRIME INVOLVEMENT WITH UNIONS AND SHOPS IS DESCRIBED. SOME INDICATORS OF INCREASING INVOLVEMENT ARE GIVEN, SUCH AS ABNORMALLY LARGE ORDERS FROM SOME CUSTOMERS FOR PRODUCTS NOT NECESSARILY IN THEIR NORMAL LINE AND LACK OF INTEREST FROM LENDING SOURCES IN COLLATERAL FOR THEIR LOANS. SOME SCAM-TYPE OPERATIONS ARE DISCUSSED.
