Europol unveils a map of the most threatening criminal gangs in Europe. This is the first time that Europol has revealed such an analysis of the functioning of the largest European gangs.
The majority of Europe's most dangerous gangs focus on drug trafficking - cocaine, cannabis, heroin and synthetic drugs. Dubai has "become a remote coordination center", where high-ranking gang members reside to avoid detection by law enforcement. The attention of law enforcement must remain focused on long-known criminal networks, even if they are under police surveillance.
