BKA: Organized crime turns digital, more violent, recruits via social media

Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) reports a structural shift in organized crime: gangs are increasingly international, digitally networked, and more brutal, with recruitment now occurring via social media. The claim is based on official BKA assessments, though specific data or incidents are not detailed. This signals a growing law-enforcement challenge and potential for increased cyber-enabled criminal activity in Germany and beyond.
