DESCRIPTION:The Covid-19 pandemic\, and the recovery measures introduced by
  countries across the world to face the current economic crisis\, have pro
 vided opportunities to organised crime (OC) groups to infiltrate the legit
 imate economy\, take control of legitimate businesses and profiting from t
 he current emergency situation. In particular\, the following patterns cou
 ld be observed: (i) acquisition of firms in financial distress operating i
 n sectors heavily affected by the crisis (e.g. hotels and restaurants)\; (
 ii) interest towards sectors pumped by the Covid-19 related lockdown (e.g.
  transport and logistics\, cleaning services\, trade of medical devices an
 d pharmaceuticals)\; (iii) illicit lending and usury to entrepreneurs lack
 ing liquidity\; (iv) acquisition of recovery funds and public subsidies th
 rough fraud and accounting manipulations. By providing case studies and em
 pirical data in selected countries\, this paper will provide an insight of
  the changing patterns in the OC economic strategy as a consequence of the
  Covid-19 pandemic\, and discuss potential prevention and investigation st
 rategies to curb and mitigate this risk.
