AL-MAJMU'AH
a.k.a Al-Majmu'ah
Backstory
"The Kasaab Collective," or Al-Majmu'ah, has its roots in several Middle Eastern and Asian nations, including Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The organization primarily consists of Arabs. It emerged from Lebanon's coastal regions and quickly expanded its influence internationally, especially in the global drug trade. Flourishing amidst civil conflicts and political instability, Al-Majmu'ah nurtured its growth in the realm of organized crime. Lebanon's coastal geography played a pivotal role in its formation, granting the collective a strategic advantage due to its proximity to international waters and major trade routes. This geographical advantage facilitated various illicit opportunities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, arms smuggling, extortion, and online cybercrime. The Kasaab Collective's rise to prominence can be attributed to its adaptability and ability to exploit regional unrest for its gains. With its roots firmly embedded in diverse nations, it leveraged connections within the Arab diaspora to establish a vast network of criminal enterprises. Saudi Arabia provided financial support, Iraq served as a source of recruits, and Lebanon served as the epicenter of its operations. Over time, Al-Majmu'ah diversified its criminal portfolio, engaging in activities beyond drug trafficking. Money laundering became a lucrative scheme, allowing the organization to legitimize ill-gotten gains through front companies and real estate investments. Arms smuggling operations further expanded its reach, enabling it to supply weapons to various conflict zones across the Middle East. Extortion became another tool in Al-Majmu'ah's arsenal, targeting both local businesses and international corporations operating in the region. The collective's ability to instill fear formed Al-Majmu'ah as a formidable force in the criminal underworld of Lebanon. Although, the collective is primarily infamous for their cyber operations. The collective utilized several methods of online cybercrime, using sophisticated techniques to carry out hacks, data breaches, and online ransomware attacks on individuals and organizations worldwide.
As time passed, the collective evolved into a far-reaching criminal organization, displaying adaptability in navigating Lebanon's ever-changing criminal landscape while expanding its influence in international criminal enterprises. However, prior to an indictment by the Lebanese State Security, several American-born felons within the group were deported to the United States. Among them was Nasir Al-Hadad, a notorious figure skilled in racketeering and drug trafficking. Al-Hadad played a significant role in establishing Al-Majmu'ah's presence in Jersey City, where narcotics trafficking significantly enriched the organization and firmly established its reputation within the United States. Subsequently, multiple individuals faced legal action during their stay in the United States as part of efforts to dismantle the criminal network's activities on American soil. Hadad eventually fled from the face of Jersey City, laying low for months. These events led to the temporary dissolution of the organization, leaving individuals of Lebanese origin as the primary remaining members. In a turn of events, Hadad , feeling pressured by law enforcement, entered East Brickton, a city ripe for exploitation, and formed a new faction within the state. Hashem's actions in East Brickton added complexity to the Kasaab Collective, splitting the organization into several sub-factions.
Modern Day
Al-Majmu'ah adapted well to the digital age and found new avenues for expansion. Faced with increased scrutiny from global law enforcement, the syndicate delved into the realm of cybercrime, using sophisticated hacking techniques learned in Lebanon. The modern-day narrative of the Kasaab Collective showcases several immigrants functioning behind the screen attacks. However, attacks upon enemies such as past-due recipients who owe the faction are pursued. The Al-Majmu'ah still would continue using front businesses to ensure protection from law enforcement while orienated within East Brickton. Al-Majmu'ah maintained front businesses in East Brickton, strategically shielding themselves from law enforcement scrutiny, enabling their illicit activities. Their continued presence in East Brickton, an opportune location, bolstered their influence in the criminal world. In the face of evolving criminal landscapes and law enforcement, Al-Majmu'ah's adaptive resilience posed persistent challenges. The modern era equipped them with new tools and tactics, solidifying their standing as a formidable force in organized crime.
Territory
One of the distinguishing features of the Al-Majmu'ah's operations in East Brickton is their use of legitimate businesses as a front for their illicit opportunities . These businesses, often legitimately managed, serve as a cover for a wide range of criminal activities, operating behind a faƧade of legitimate business helps the Al-Majmu'ah to deflect sutalented manion from law enforcement. The collective primarily sets their territory on street Delis, gas stations, or car washes and are associated as that.
