• People have often thought that as a rule, organized crime confronts the State. However, the history of the relationship between the State and organized crime is not always one of confrontation.
But...• In some cases organized crime has been able to
infiltrate and to co-opt some State institutions in order to achieve its unlawful objectives.
• On the other hand, government officials and politicians, in many cases, get along well with organized crime, taking advantage of its criminal power in order to obtain egoistic, exclusive and morally unlawful benefits.
Traditional approach...

Co-opted State Reconfiguration“The action of lawful and unlawful organizations, which through unlawful practices seek to systematically modify from inside the political regime and to influence the drafting, modification, interpretation, and application of the rules of the game and public policies. [These practices are undertaken] with the purpose of obtaining sustained benefits and ensuring that their interests are validated politically and legally, as well as gaining social legitimacy in the long run, although these interests do not follow the founding principle of social welfare”

Different types of illicit networks
(i) Lawful = Only by bright agents.
(ii) Unlawful = Only by dark agents.
(iii) Undefined = Dark + Bright, or by grey agents.
It can be therefore expected that StC and CStR situations are examples of grey networks.
The lawful agent (bright) is that agent who belongs to a lawful organization and plays a lawful functional/ institutional role.
The unlawful agent (dark) is that agent who belongs to an unlawful organization and plays an unlawful functional/institutional role.
