Criminal Enterprise facts
While investigating facts about Criminal Enterprise, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Washington DC police ran a fake hip-hop studio to attract criminals and record proof of their illicit deals. "Manic Enterprises" made 70 arrests, snagged $7.2 million in cocaine, and confiscated 161 illegal weapons. Cops shut it down after they heard a gang planned on robbing the studio.
In 1984 the FBI declared the Key West Police Department a criminal enterprise, and several high-ranking officers were arrested for running a protection racket for cocaine smugglers.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 7 of the best facts about Criminal Enterprise I managed to collect.
