Europol's latest report reveals a concerning trend in the European Union, where over a third of the most threatening criminal networks, totaling over 800 groups with over 25,000 members, are laundering their profits through real estate. These criminal gangs, including cartels and mafias, are also infiltrating the legal world by using fruit companies, hotels, and other legal businesses as fronts to conceal their activities. This information, aimed at aiding law enforcement agencies, highlights the extensive reach and sophisticated methods employed by these networks to integrate into the legitimate economy.
