Global Organized Crime Index 2025: In Belarus, the state "sponsors" criminal schemes

Belarus has found itself among the countries with the highest levels of criminal activity and among the weakest states capable of resisting it, according to the Global Organized Crime Index for 2025. The study records a further deterioration of the situation: criminal markets in the country are strengthening, and state institutions not only do not limit their growth but, in some cases, themselves become participants in illegal schemes.
