'illegal manufacture of alcohol' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'imploring to hide loot made' is the wordplay.
'imploring' becomes 'begging' ('beg' can be a synonym of 'implore').
'to hide' indicates putting letters inside.
'made' is an anagram indicator.
'loot' anagrammed gives 'ootl'.
'begging' placed around 'ootl' is 'BOOTLEGGING'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bootlegging that I've seen is " illicit activity".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
