Summary/Abstract: This article explores the multifaceted economic dimensions of organized crime in the modern globalized world. It analyzes theoretical models of criminal organizations as economic entities, their impact on market competition, public finances, and macroeconomic stability. Special attention is paid to the relationship between organized crime and the shadow economy, money laundering mechanisms and specific markets for illegal goods and services. The article also examines the phenomenon of „state capture“ as an extreme form of economic and political influence of criminal structures. In conclusion, economically sound countermeasure strategies are proposed.
