Looking for an illegal faction that is active during UK times. Please let me know. I have a clean record and offer good roleplay. oj16oz is my discord.

Los Santos (AP) - Saturday, at the federal courthouse, the jury unanimously voted to convict all seven of the reputed Greek Mafia members. The American public got a look at an organization rarely seen by the world. A shady group of illicit businessmen who rack in thousands of dollars whilst also flying under the radar through illegal trafficking, gambling, and intimidation. This distinct group of elite Greek criminals are known as νονοί της νύχτας (translated as "Godfathers of the night") or simply put "The Greek Mob". Although the charges differ on each man, things such as a murder, loan-sharking, drug trafficking and gambling were listed amongst a slew of other charges. Sixty-two year old Julius Masalis was pegged as the head of the criminal enterprise by both the FBI and key witness Kevin Sorrento who was a part of the San Andreas La Cosa Nostra family. For nearly thirty years, the Masalis syndicate was able to get away with just about everything under the sun, much of it without the FBI knowing a thing about them. If you ask most Greek-Americans, they will tell you that the Greek Mafia is a myth, an attempt to defame the positive image of the Greek people in America. However, Greek crime syndicates are rumored to be operating in Florida, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Santos, and San Fierro. The Greeks stay under the radar by keeping a low profile. Prominent members could be counted on one hand and the rest are low level associates who do minor crimes for the mob. Rather than drive the organized crime in a city, the Greeks prefer to fuel by playing the second or third fiddle to larger criminal organizations such as the Italian mafia. The Greek Mob has perfected the art of legitimizing themselves. Through legal businesses and through the careful deployment of “daisy chain” tax evasion schemes that stitch together sometimes dozens of shell companies. These tactics make it almost impossible to track the finances of the leaders without an inside man. The Greeks are almost a shadow and its members are experts at avoiding police detection. It's often said you won't know the Greek Mafia was there until they've left, since its design allows for the group to quickly dismantle and disappear whenever a threat appears. Members are incredibly elusive and will frequently change patterns or rackets in an effort to elude law enforcement. Infiltrating the organization has proved difficult, many informants do not know of the organization or know very little due to the organization's wariness of outsiders. That story was the absolute truth for Julius Masalis, Mark Kostopoulos and the leaders of the West Coast Greek mob for almost three decades. They raked in millions of dollars under the nose of law enforcement and little leaked out about them. It wasn't until Kevin Sorrento, a made member in a Los Santos based La Cosa Nostra family, flipped on his own organization that the Greeks were brought to light. Sorrento played an integral role in Greek-Italian relations, relaying messages back and forth along with organizing meetings. In January of 2014, he was arrested on a drug trafficking charge. Instead of doing the time he decided to flip. He was wired up and was able to record dozens of conversations with Julius Masalis himself along with other Greeks. This allowed the FBI to put the clamps down on the organization and finally arrest them in September. The organization is believed to nearly be entirely behind bars now, several of the members left behind sons and nephews who may be involved in criminal activity. Historically, the idea of family has meant a great deal to Greek gangsters and their sons often got involved. However, the San Andreas FBI says that it is unlikely because "their sons are college graduates, living their own lives, they're not involved in organized crime".

Indictment CK I have a suggestion that in my opinion will change the whole outlook of Police-Illegal Faction RP, the way each factions roleplay with each other, their members, and it will improve the effectiveness of the police against organised crime (illegal factions). My suggestion is to create an Indictment CK system. Indictments are of course charges made against a person, or persons with claims of serious crimes. Using laws, and such, like the RICO Act, the Police would have the option to get search warrants, warrants for wiring a house, people, and other things like that. They can offer caught mobsters that they either give up their friends, and help the Police at court/wire them, or they get Indictment CK. Wiring would mean that a person, or a house has cameras, or sound recorders. Of course, these need to be roleplayed to be hidden at places, and screenshots need to be taken about placing them. Warrants are also needed to place these, which could be requests to Faction Management with a basis of course that the place to be wired is a place of criminal activities. If proven, the police could get the equipment, and place it in the house, hiding it. These don’t need to be actual items, or they could be implemented like that. These could be simply roleplayed, but of course, everything needs to be screenshotted, so that no metagaming is involved. Indictment CK would work like this: The Police gather evidence like photographs, voice recordings (these are screenshots, of course), items, witness reports, and so on, and so on. With these, they gather proof against persons of interest to be indicted. After that, there could be a trial (this could lead to a lawyer career to be created on the server, as well) which can either decide of the character gets „CKed” or not. Of course, I don’t mean a literal CK, I mean getting a life sentence that is essentially like a CK. This could not only improve the Police’s chances against criminal organisations, and create great RP opportunities, but it could also mean that a lot of people will stop randomly robbing, and pillaging around the server, as they could be reported, and in time, they might get a life sentence that can basically CK them, forcing them to change their logic, or stop completely. It might take some time, and effort to create this feature, but if it is done, the RP qualities of the server would improve a lot, and the Police could get a lot more chances, and power against the criminals (since it’s obvious that the criminals overpower the Police at this moment on the server).
