Summary/Abstract: Entry into the democratic world has also been a step in the world of international crime, which today operates in global dimensions. The local underworld in the Czech Republic is confronted with criminal groups from the territory of the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, Italy and Western Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa and together with them creates a new, much more developed "crime industry". Organized crime tends to "buy" top politicians, civil servants, police officers, and thus ensure inviolability, create parallel criminal economies, expand abroad. Czech security policy is often unable to respond effectively to this changed situation.
