Europol has identified 821 particularly threatening criminal networks with more than 25,000 members across the bloc.

According to the agency, 86% of those networks can infiltrate the legal economy to hide their activities and launder their criminal profits. Another characteristic of these networks is the borderless nature of their structure, with 112 nationalities represented among their members, the report added.

What about the other 14%, why can’t they do it. I thought it's a free country appreciating entrepreneurship.
