INTELLIGENCE AND ANALYSIS REPORT Prepared for MNF TEMPEST EXPRESS 31

“GODFATHER” OF SANTA ROSALIA EXERCISE EXERCISE Key Points MCG is purely motivated by money, with aversion to risk. To mitigate risk, MCG bribes key politicians and police officials in IDS. INTERPOL estimates 650-750 active MCG members on IDS. Activities include: robbery-/crime-at-sea, prostitution, extortion, money-laundering, drug and human trafficking, and smuggling. Also suspected of conducting cyber Phishing operations for profit / identity theft. Operatives prey on the region’s refugee population. Refugee population has large numbers of single females and unaccompanied minors, who are vulnerable targets for trafficking. No rival criminal gangs operate on IDS. Significant tension between the MCG and SIS, leading to turf wars. Fracture of the SIS allowed MCG to expand operations into northern and central IDS. MCG past overt actions intended to demonstrate MCG power and control (ex.: assassination of Iberian Colonial Gendarmerie and officials.). Actions mainly in Southern IDS MCG activities appear to be on the rise, apparently due to: IDS’ newly found independence; and Disorganization of the SIS. TASEEM RUSHDI “GODFATHER” OF SANTA ROSALIA
