A network of individuals who engage in human trafficking, exploiting victims for labor or sexual exploitation.

A group of corrupt officials who use their positions of power to engage in activities such as bribery, extortion, and money laundering.

Overall, criminal networks are groups of individuals who work together to engage in criminal activities. They can be organized in many different ways, and they can operate at different levels, from local to international.
