I have a hard time understanding that sentence.

Organizers of what? The businesses, or illicit tobacco?

What does standing over mean?

It's not clear to me why standing over would be a motivation for attacks.

Organisers of the threats to others.

To “stand over” is a verb meaning roughly to “threaten, with menace”.

But it doesn’t necessarily mean that that’s the party or parties that have undertaken the attacks.
