As a Criminal organization you can hire an informant. You can focus your informant on:
- Rival Criminal organization
- The cops
- A territory
- A person
- The docks
- Logistics (like tracking certain items) Your informant will bring you information every 15 IRL minutes but also has a chance to be caught. The better information they discover the higher the chance they get caught.
You are able to further pin down what you information you would like to receive within a focus. However doing so would result into less information revealed since there is a smaller pool of information to pick from.
When they get caught a Clean up job is generated to make sure they stay quite. Or you can ignore this job and hope for the best.
