Popis: The chapter describes the main criminal activities and their modi operandi within the Vietnamese diaspora in the Czech Republic (CR). These activities have national and international dimensions in the CR. The chapter describes criminal activities such as economic crime, smuggling of people, trade in people and prostitution or violent crime, counterfeiting activities and stealing goods. Usury and trade in arms are also briefly mentioned. Special attention is paid to crimes that have been growing in importance relatively recently—to drug crimes and to the illicit wildlife trade. The chapter demonstrates that the nature of the diaspora gives prominence to economic criminal activities. Certain other forms of crime exist, but are fairly marginal in comparison with the more significant ones. The only two exceptions are drug-related crimes.
