Modern criminals have the different style to act than criminals of 80’s and 90’s. They have two roads to work with publicity. The first one is to claim, that they work for governments, and that will make the investigations slower. The second line is to make publicity the weapon against the enemies of those criminals. That means that the criminals have Facebook and other social media, what they will use in their operations.
They also control their gangs with those media-tools, and those persons may want to use the video conferences in their organizations, and they might want the pictures about the places, where the henchman of the boss claims to be. This makes modern criminals more dangerous than ever before. The drug dealers might use surveillance drones to check the areas, and they might also look in the flats to look for something to steal.
But those criminals also use social media to create their own images in the community. They may claim, that they are only the rebellious guys, who are persecuted by the police. Of course, the social media is the ultimate tool to ask for information of the people’s names and other things of the targeted person’s backgrounds. If there would be something, what causes problems with criminals, they would not sell drugs or take that person to the gang. Those things are everything, what makes the man hard to control. The publicity is the good tool for that person image in courtrooms, where they always claim that they are innocent.
Also in very high profile mafia cases, the publicity is the good tool to turn the public eye to another way, when some mafioso is in the courtroom. When the person’s like Pablo Escobar are in the courtroom they would offer very large sums of money, and of course, those people always are very lavish for everything, what’s look good. They would give millions to the children hospitals, and there are always cameras at the place to show the world how good person that mafioso will be. There is always the same picture in the gangster’s life. First, this person would collect very much money from the streets, and then this person would establish the company, where the money would be transfer.
After this, that person leaves the world of crime and starts to operate in legal business. The gang and violence are only memories of that boss when this person starts to operate in legal business. The members of the gang would be handled by using anonymous phone calls to police. And the hit men can shoot the persons, who know too much. And then that boss is free. If somebody asks something, that ex-gang boss might say that they are only jealous, how this person has succeeded in the life. That is a good explanation for claiming that some respected member of the community has earned the start money for his business by selling drugs.
