Yesterday, the Australian Crime Intelligence Commission released its latest report about organised crime in Australia. The report shows why is important to keep away from organised crime by documenting recent case studies.

Organised crime is not all about illicit drugs, but is involved in more enablers, such as money laundering, violence and intimidation, and identity crime.
