THE TRUTH BEHIND THE RICHEST CRIMINALS IN THE WORLD.

1.1 billion dollars that's how much the

Mexican Government seized from the

Jalisco cartel in 2020. in 2015 it was

the mafia's turn for a loss the Italian

government seized 2 billion euros in

Bank deposits 3 000 companies and 12 000

properties from them before realizing

they had bitten off more than they could

Chew in their words it was more

difficult to manage the property seized

from the mafia than it was to confiscate

it and that's because crime is a

business and some of the most profitable

businesses in the world are also the

most ruthless so what are the 10 richest

criminal organizations in the world you

ask let's Dive In

number 10 the Taliban I bet you didn't

expect to see the Taliban on this list

but I'm also sure you already know that

the Taliban is a criminal organization

founded in September 1994 by the evasive

Mula Muhammad Amar and 50 students the

Taliban groups become a real problem in

Afghanistan after attacking the Afghan

government more times than once losing

and winning the Afghan territory from

the U.S the talibans now rule of

Afghanistan have imposed their extremist

ideals of the people but those who have

suffered the most have been the women

and girls they have blocked them from

exercising their fundamental rights to

expression movement and education and

have also blocked their basic rights to

life livelihood Health Care food and

water now beyond their reign of terror

the Taliban is also run like a business

and that's what has allowed them to

survive for so long when they seize a

territory their first point of call is

looking for how they can convert the

Manpower of the population under their

control and the resources they have

stolen into more wealth and quite

ironically the taliban's primary source

of incomes comes from the production of

a trade of illegal substance mainly

opium and heroin they also get tens of

millions from Pirate mining of Natural

Resources within the regions under its

control collecting ransom for hostages

and from donations but it gets deeper

the Taliban relies on the substance

networks created and refined by the

cartels of Mexico and today they've been

able to make Afghanistan the biggest

heroin Growers and producers in the

world more opium is grown in Afghanistan

than there are farms for Coca and all of

Latin America and the result of this is

that the Taliban is worth a staggering

800 million dollars from forbes's

estimates

number nine Sinaloa cartel over the past

decades the Sinaloa cartel has grown to

become one of the most influential drug

organizations in the world in the drug

trade there was hardly any cartel that

has the presence the exploits and the

bank that's Sinaloa cartel has even

after their leader El Chapo got captured

and locked in the most secure prisons in

the world his cartel remained relevant

and profitable today they control 60

percent of Revenue globally and Fortune

Magazine says the cartel's Revenue sits

at 3 billion annually but this is where

things get tricky no one can tell for

sure just how much the cartel truly

makes when El Chapo was captured the

cartel suffered some losses and lost

some hundreds of Millions worth of

merchandise and distribution routes but

they recovered well enough to still

remain at the top of the business

pyramid and according to El Chapo

himself the cartel was under new

leadership El Mayo a shadowy figure who

is rumored to be worth billions so

depending on who you ask the Sinaloa

cartel could be worth as much as 6.5

billion and is unbelievably high as 500

billion dollars but since we can't

accurately measure their net worth we'll

stick with the official estimate three

billion dollars

number eight indrangita the second

largest Mafia organization in the world

is the indrangita they were the first to

get in bed with South American cocaine

dealers and as a result today they

control much of a transatlantic drug

Market distribution Channel since Europe

in the past they were integral to the

rise of the infamous yet legendary New

York crime families and their presence

is still felt in the U.S so how much are

they worth well that figure sits pretty

around 4.5 billion dollars and while it

might seem staggering it is Justified

because the organization is more than

two centuries in the making now beyond

their empire in Europe the indragita had

sustained a reputation as the ultimate

peacemakers and conflicts they have been

known to organize meetings between

warring factions and with other criminal

organizations it was this quality that

led them to forge alliances with cartels

in the 20th century and subsequently

take control of Europe's drug scene make

no mistake

are not a peace-loving mom they can be

deadly when they want to but they know

how and when to use diplomacy to get

what they want

number 7 kamora in 2005 this man

casimodilora who at the time was the

acting head of his family's Clan under

the Kimora kidnapped tortured and burnt

alive the former girlfriend of arrival

as he tried and failed to get his

location from her this is not even the

breadth of the kimura's brutality and

yet despite how much the government has

cracked down on this organization they

still exist today in fact the camura is

one of the most efficient and one of the

most profitable surviving Mafia

organizations how profitable Fortune

Magazine estimates that the criminal

group breaks in an estimated average of

around 4.9 billion annually and all of

this is gotten from exploitation

Firearms trafficking narcotics peddling

gambling and extortion of the most

violent kind one of the most amazing

qualities of the Kimora is the fact that

they don't have a centralized system of

management unlike the pyramid-like

structure of the Sicilian Mafia wherever

everyone knows who the Godfather is the

Kamura is made of several individual

Clans that has bosses and operate within

hundreds of Affiliates no wonder why

they have been in existence since the

17th century

number six

yamaguchigami most people know them as

the Yakuza but the Yakuza is an umbrella

term for criminal organizations that

exist within Japan end of the lot the

Yamaguchi Kami are the largest but they

aren't just large they are also

thoroughly organized incredibly

influential and ruthlessly disciplined

founded in 1915 by a tenored criminal

name harikichi gamaguchi yamaguchigami

would pick up a Century's worth of

violence and that violence is not

exclusive to Outsiders if you mess up as

a member you're required to chop off

your fingers or ear in a ritual of an

atonement called yubitsumi that

reaffirms your loyalty to the codes and

ethics of the gang the mafia and Yakuza

share a lot in common on one hand the

Yakuza actively involves themselves in

dispute resolutions that often leaves

them richer and they are also known for

their heavy involvement and control of

the gambling sector drug trafficking in

Japan and when it comes to their

structure they also piece themselves

together like the American Mafia

familial relations bound together in

elaborate hierarchies where they

initiated give up their past life

completely and adopt their new one now

make no mistake the Yakuza is just as

old as the American Mafia and the Yakuza

existed for hundreds of years and that's

part of why today they are worth a

staggering 6.6 billion dollars

number five solencepts everyone knows

that Russia is built different from the

West so you can imagine what a Russian

mafia would look like and more

importantly what it would be worth

unfortunately for us the Russian mafia

does exist they are called solance

and their founder Sergey michelov would

rather be called a businessman than a

thief the man started the criminal

Enterprise in the 1980s as a waiter who

had served a prison term for fraud it

grew to become a dangerous gang of foot

soldiers these foot soldiers were

originally local unemployed young men

with aggressive tendencies but with time

they expanded and became more organized

operating territories that stretched

from Russia to the major parts of Europe

North America and even Africa today they

deal in every type of criminal activity

you can think of racketeering extortion

illegal gambling arms trafficking human

trafficking and much more their

structure is highly decentralized the

war organization is made up of

semi-autonomous bridges that more or

less operate independently from each

other however they have a mutual respect

for one another and they will unite

forces and resources if they encounter

threats that surpass an individual

brigade's capacity what makes them

especially dangerous is the fact that

they are now on a level where they can

influence the Russian state for their

own benefit and they've even been able

to do this by reinvesting ill-gained

wealth into legitimate businesses like

casinos financial institutions and even

an international airport in Russia

called renukovo airport by 1990 they

even got more sophisticated and began

moving their blood money through banks

and this allowed them to get close to

the Russian oligarchs who are quite

frankly not too different from the

career criminals themselves at the very

top of the food chain the Russian mafia

is run by a 12-person council that

routinely convenes to assess their

organization and today they are 9 000

members strong according to Forbes scene

the solented skya prathva is worth

around 8.5 billion dollars

number four D company have you ever

heard of D company if your answer is no

then dawood the founder of the Indian

terrorist unit would be pleased because

the billionaire criminal has been a pain

in the backside of the Indian state for

more than three decades yet no one has

been able to NAB him or bring down his

multi-billion dollar organization

According to some resources he was third

on the FBI's most wanted list and at

some point he has been blamed for

several terrorist attacks as well as

actively supporting Isis but it doesn't

in there dawood's company which he

started in the 70s ships an ungodly

amount of heroin and opium and today the

criminal organization makes at least 6.7

billion dollars yearly but forget about

the money for a second the truth is this

no one knows how much dawood's company

is truly worth they aren't sure just how

he makes his money and they don't even

know where he is ever since he

masterminded the 1993 Mumbai Bomb Blast

the inner CIA and the FBI have tried and

failed to locate him and the only reason

they have estimates of his wealth is

because of the businesses they were able

to track dawoods might never be caught

and his true wealth might never come to

light

number three Sicilian Mafia in March of

2014 a four-year-old boy was shot dead

along with his mother and her boyfriend

near the southern city of Toronto in a

suspected mob hit the event was so

shocking that Pope Francis spoke up

against the mafia but that's a small

price to pay to become a member of the

Sicilian Mafia otherwise known as the

Costa Nostra many would literally kill

to be members of the organization and

that's because kosa Nostra is beyond

just a criminal organization it is a

religion a way of life it is a life or

death for every one of its members the

group had its humble origins in the

1800s in Sicily Italy Legend has it that

it started as a prison gang that had a

semblance of the same structure and

values that the modern-day Mafia still

has after years of refining and social

climbing they began to work hand in hand

with oppressive governments carrying

several questionable assignments for the

corrupt government officials eventually

they were forced to expand to the U.S

and Europe when totalitarian governments

took power today they oversee a vast

network of gambling extortion money

laundering human trafficking and many

others now if you're wondering how much

they're worth it's somewhere in the

region of seven billion dollars

number two golf cartel founded by Juan

nepomaseno Guerrera in the 1930s the

gulf cartel is one of the oldest and one

of the most ruthless cartels in the

world from their domestic base in Mexico

they run International distribution

networks into many parts of Europe and

North America however their ruthlessness

is what has made them survive for so

long getting kidnapped by the cartels

often worse than a death sentence for a

variety of reasons but most likely

because you're likely to disappear

without a trace this is what happened to

the kazadas family in the 2011 metamoros

mass kidnapping despite the intervention

of practically every law enforcement

agency in the world five men from the

family are still missing to this day the

golf cartel also has an affinity for

every form of crime maybe it's because

they have been around for so long and

maybe it's because law enforcement

agencies have tried and failed to bring

them down over the years they have

amassed a staggering amount of wealth

that according to most sources is north

of 10 billion dollars out of all the

cartels they have suffered the most at

the hands of anti-drug agencies and yet

they have survived and it's a testament

to not only their longevity but their

ability to remain profitable as an

organization of crime

number one the Triads at the top of the

food chain are the Chinese Triads as an

organization the criminal Enterprise has

existed longer than many contrace and

it's without a doubt older than all of

the other criminal organizations on this

list they've existed for hundreds of

years and are involved in hosts of

criminal activities from racketeering to

drug trafficking and murder today their

area of specialization is human

trafficking and they have been doing

this for more than a century one of the

major reasons why it is so difficult to

disband the Triad is because like the

Russian mafia and the Kimora this

organization runs a decentralized

structure and they are incredibly

secretive so secretive that most of the

operations still remain a mystery to

this day over the years the ones we know

have extended across every continent on

the globe and they have participated in

activities that are too graphic to show

or even State here just know that for

every individual that goes missing

there's a high chance that the Triad had

a hand in it so how much is this

nefarious organization worth 13 billion

dollars
