Organized crime in Dalibor

The name most associated with organized crime within Dalibor is the many branches of underground society and organizations known as the Triads. Triad gang activities are mainly territorial and commonly involve the following types of offenses:
 * Extortion and protection racketeering of shops, small business, hawkers, construction sites, car valet services, and places of public entertainment such as bars, billiard halls, etc.;
 * Monopolizing control of non-franchised public transport routes;
 * Monopolizing control of decoration companies operating in newly built public housing estates;
 * Street-level dangerous drug trafficking;
 * Illegal gambling, and prostitution and pornography.

Smuggling (both goods and people), counterfeit goods, corruption and prostitution syndicates are all the result of organized groups operating on the island. Many of the triads' most profitable activities do not attract high levels of public outrage e.g. illegal gambling and copyright piracy. More aggressive activities are kept low profile, while the triad leaders themselves often have a rather high-profile status in Dalibor City and commonly interact with the Dalibor government. Historically the government has tended to be in debt to or in allegiance to, if not outright run by, the triads. The triads also hold connections with Dalibor's financial institutions, which are among the world's preferred choice for discreet and illegal offshore banking.

Within Dalibor there is minimal law enforcement action taken against the triads and they are able to operate with considerable ease. The laissez faire attitude of the government of Dalibor has been a problem for neighboring areas of Dovani, particularly Hanzen and Indrala. These two nations are top targets for the sale of illegal goods and trafficking. International shipping operations passing through Dalibor City also provide the triads with even broader access to the global black market.
