Brothers Doing Business (BDB) is a clandestine organized crime group originating from the United Kingdom. Known for its involvement in financial crimes, corporate sabotage, and narcotics trafficking. BDB operates with a high level of secrecy and actively suppresses information about its activities.
Criminal Activities
[edit]BDB is believed to engage in various illicit operations, ranging from financial fraud to large-scale sabotage. Below is a summary of their known activities:
| Type of Crime | Description |
|---|---|
| Fraud | Engages in identity theft, credit card fraud, and investment scams. |
| Money Laundering | Uses complex networks to process illicit funds and integrate them into the legal economy. |
| Corporate Sabotage | Conducts espionage, cyber-attacks, and disruption of business operations. |
| Narcotics and Weapons Trafficking | Involved in the distribution and sale of illegal drugs and firearms. |
| Metal theft | Prominent in the theft of precious metals such as copper. |
Notable Incidents
[edit]One of the most significant incidents attributed to BDB occurred during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. On July 26, 2024, coordinated arson attacks targeted France's high-speed rail network. Incendiary devices were placed on four major TGV lines leading into Paris, causing widespread travel disruptions just hours before the Olympic opening ceremony. Approximately 800,000 passengers were affected by these attacks. French authorities have suggested that either far left groups or interference from the Russian government is to blame, in another act of "hybrid warfare", but investigations are ongoing. A member of the "BDB" was also captured on camera breaking into installations and interfering with electronics. [1]
Structure and Secrecy
[edit]Details regarding BDB's leadership and hierarchy remain unclear. The group is known for its strict secrecy, using encrypted communications and decentralized operations to avoid law enforcement detection.
Law Enforcement Response
[edit]Authorities across multiple countries have been investigating BDB, with efforts focused on tracking financial transactions and dismantling their operations. Despite these efforts, BDB remains elusive, continuing to operate under a veil of secrecy.
