Asian gangs are involved in human trafficking, gambling, prostitution, and undermining licit businesses. African gangs are engaged in drug trafficking and financial frauds. Russian gangs make extensive use of the state governmental apparatus to protect and promote their criminal activities, including frauds and scams. Mexican gangs are heavily involved in moving drugs. To control the transnational syndicates the FBI is involved in Eurasian Organized Crime Working Group, Central European Working Group, and Southeast European Cooperative Initiative. Congress has passed a number of laws to make it easier for agencies to bring transnational gangs to justice: the Travel Act and the RICO Act.
