PARTICIPATION
The Contest

2. THEME: ORGANIZED CRIME
More than ever, especially from the beginning of this
century, organized crime has become a serious threat to social stability in
many countries. In these cases the control organized crime imposes is
notorious. Through economical power and physical intimidation it has managed to
infiltrate every level of official government. It is responsible for
controlling the press and other mass media, even assassinating journalists. It
is said that it sponsors political campaigns, buy judges and other important
civil servants, including top military officers. It launders huge amounts of
money and owns countless “legitimate” businesses. At times it shows off the weight of its power
publicly. Finally, it is deeply involved in drug production, distribution and
trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, trafficking in women, terrorism and arms
sales, among many other illegal activities.
