NUNES, Duarte Rodrigues. ORGANIZED CRIME INFILTRATION OF LEGITIMATE ECONOMY. Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito [online]. 2022, n.14, pp.313-333.  Epub 07-Set-2022. ISSN 2183-6396.  https://doi.org/10.19135/revista.consinter.00014.13.

Organized crime Lato sensu (that includes “traditional” organized crime, terrorism and organized economic crime) intervenes in the legal economy to make a profit, protect itself, its members and its assets from the authorities and establish relations, with a view to exchanging favours, with members of the world of politics, institutions and public administration. In this intervention, criminal organizations use their own “methodology” (use of violence, intimidation and corruption and systematic violation of the law). In order to intervene in the legal economy, criminal organizations (directly or through companies) establish relations with lawful companies. Such relationships range from intimidation to the establishment of “normal” business relationships, in which lawful companies and the criminal organization and/or the companies owned/controlled by them act as business partners, through the provision of economic assistance, by criminal organizations, to companies in difficult economic situation.
