| In such situation, Mogilevich was far less vulnerable than the leader of traditional Mafia group, in spite of its important role in such transnational network. Despite of continued claims about his role, he has never been sentenced of any corruption/ crime.
Third, networks can be highly structured and enduring in nature orthey can be loose, fluid, or imprecise in character, with members coming and going according to particular requirements, prospects, and/ or demands. Some individuals or even small organizations will point in and out of networks when it is convenient for them to do so. Other networks will have a more enduring membership. In yet other cases, there will be some members who provide continuity and direction to the network, while others will play an irregular or transitory part. There will be both “embedded ties” and continuing relations based on high levels of trust, mutual respect, and mutual concern; but also more transitory connections based on nothing more than a short-term chance of interests. An analogous dynamism is obvious in the way in which criminals develop businesses to make maximum of prospects and closing them whenever is needed or when they are directed in those particular areas. Last, networks can be motivated barely on a sole purpose or on the supply of a particular product, or they can supply a broader range of illegitimate goods or engage in more diverse criminal activities. For example Colombian and Mexican drug trafficking organizations do not engage themselves into a wide range of activities. Although there has been a tendency to traffic in more than one kind of drug, essentially they are in the drug trafficking business and little else. On the other hand Russian and Chinese criminal organizations are involved in very diverse criminal activities like drug trafficking, dealing in lifted/ stolen cars and weapons, prostitution, antiquities, and vanishing classes, yet also engaging in numerous systems of extortion and even in monetary [fraud.] |
Significantly, as a key figure in this transnational network, Mogilevich is far less vulnerable than a traditional Mafia don or family head, and, despite continued allegations about his role, he has never been convicted of any crime.
Third, networks can be highly structured and enduring in nature or they can be loose, fluid, or amorphous in character, with members coming and going according to particular needs, opportunities, and demands. Some individuals or even small organizations will drift in and out of networks when it is convenient for them to do so. Other networks will have a more enduring membership. In yet other cases, there will be some members who provide continuity (and direction) to the network, while others will play an occasional or ephemeral part. There will be both “embedded ties” and enduring relations based on high levels of trust, mutual respect, and mutual concern; but also more fleeting relations based on nothing more than a shortterm coincidence of interests. A similar dynamism is evident in the way in which criminals develop and use front companies, creating them wherever opportunities exist and abandoning or closing them whenever they become the targets of law enforcement investigations. Last, networks can be focused very narrowly on a single purpose or on the supply of a single product, or they can supply a broader range of illegal products or engage in more diverse criminal activities. Colombian and Mexican drug trafficking organizations, for example, engage in a very narrow range of activities. Although there has been a tendency to traffic in more than one kind of drug, essentially they are in the drug trafficking business and little else. Russian and Chinese criminal organizations, in contrast, have a very diverse portfolio of criminal activities, trafficking in drugs, stolen cars, arms, prostitution, antiqui- [Page 71] ties, and endangered species, yet also engaging in various forms of extortion and financial fraud. |
