Mafia from the former ussr conquers france

Georgians, Chechens, Armenians, Moldovans, Uzbeks … their craft – theft and robbery, they suit each other apart. Police examines a phenomenon that worries her a lot. Not far from Strasbourg, the woman in the foot of the arms 22 caliber. In the department of Seine-et-Marne (east of Paris) in the trunk of his car find a wounded man, handcuffed. In the south-eastern France made ​​two dozen arrests on charges of burglary. Not far from the station of Caen (Normandy) heard the shots. In all of these incidents involved people from Georgia, and are not separate, unrelated facts. On the contrary, according to police experts, we have evidence of the growing influence of gangs in France from the USSR vyvshego, especially Georgia. "We have not an emerging phenomenon. This stage was reached in the middle of two thousandth's. Since then, the number of accidents involving immigrants from the former Soviet Union grew like an avalanche, "said Commissioner Dimitri Zulas (Dimitri Zoulas). The numbers speak for themselves: from 2008 to 2010 The year the number of immigrants from Georgia, "involved" in cases investigated by the police or gendarmerie, grew by 33%. Total, 1 650 people last year. "They have already formed gangs in France," continued Commissioner Zulas tracking this trend of organized crime, while at the head of information services, intelligence and strategic analysis of organized crime (Sirasko) at the Central Service of judicial police. This "intelligence" unit was created in the year 2009 by the Anglo-Saxon templates CEOs gendarmerie and police. Since then, "Sirasko" scribbling analytical notes, like the report of 18 December 2009, the year of Russian crime, or the recent report of 17 May this year entitled "The growing influence of the Georgian crime in France." Police believe that, first of all, it is necessary "to centralize information, because criminals themselves are central." "French prisons for them – three-star hotels," In fact, a week goes by without that the police found no signs of the growing influence of the Mafia in France. In early May, Nice people from Chechnya and Armenia were struck down by bullets fired by a native of Georgia. All three – powerful figures in organized crime groups from the former Soviet Union. In February of 2010, another high-flying mafiosi Vladimir Janashia (another Georgian) away from the bullets fired from a Kalashnikov in the area of Nice. However, a month later in Marseilles it still caught the bullets of assassins. All of these people – "thieves in law": this criminal environment, mainly from om common in Georgia, has its own code of conduct and specific tattoos, going back to prison Tsarist Russia and then to the times of Stalinism. "Murders – a consequence of the desire of these groups to take root [France]," explained the police. How do they take root? In Russia and Georgia have been taken against them are extremely harsh laws. Only for one belonging to such a clan should be in prison. "That's why they flocked to France. For Georgian factions would be folly to meddle in the drug trade or the organization of prostitution: it is already engaged in the French group. But there are unoccupied niches in which they do not conflict with other mobsters. So, they took the kidnapping of property: theft in retail outlets, supermarkets – in particular, through infiltration through the roof. These thefts, organized crime gangs are made by small groups, acting by simple pawns. " The crimes committed recently in Aquitaine (south-western France), in Béarn (southern France), in the department of Eure-et-Loire (central France), Annecy (southeastern France) and in the vicinity of Poitiers (western France) prove the presence in the groups specializing in burglary, and all of them – the Georgians. In addition to theft, committed with the objective of "working capital", they try to force in a variety of illicit trade. So, a month ago, police in Lille (Northern France) put an end to the activities of the gang, trades import cars from Belgium, twisted the speedometer. Damage: a few million euros. " After his arrest, according to a police, courts evince against detainees true indulgence: on average, they are condemned to two years imprisonment. In this case the judges do not always reveal the identity of detainees to international organized crime. "Given the hardening of these figures, the French prison for them – three-star hotel!" – Continues to police. "Thieves in Law" is the lead for France seasoned fighters, thus laying the foundation of their organization. The main thing for them – the promotion of the mafia ladder. If an ordinary fighter works well, it will move upward. They have a very consumer view of things: they seek to acquire consumer goods. " Tiny rivulets merge into a powerful river in the present central office of the Judicial Police said with certainty that the natives of Georgia, rooted in a dozen cities in France, the largest of which are Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Rennes, Clermont-Ferrand, and of course nice. "Nice – the epicenter, because it Nahostructed from nearby Italy and Spain ", – said one policeman. The organization "thieves in law" is distinguished by the strict hierarchy. "At the head of these groups is a local leader, rarely appears in public and, in turn, reports to Godfather, which operates on an international level." The pyramid is cemented by the tribute paid by the regional leader of each group acting in a particular region. This so-called "obschak." Payments account for 15% of production. Bureau of Europol (European Union Police Service) estimates the size of "obshchak" a billion euros! "This tiny little streams," but they merge into a powerful river. An armed clash in the center of which was a Georgian bar in the city of Caen, appears to be associated with failure to pay tribute: "He who does not pay obschak – dead. In this case, someone has made a special trip from Georgia, because [the owner] did not pay. " The same thing happened in the 2010th year in Marseille after the police force in several European countries, carried out an operation "Java", directed against the clan Shushanashvili and destabilize the organization. As a result, contributions to obschak stopped. For the case had to be taken seriously. With the help of Kalashnikov assault rifles. They invest money in trade from all Western European countries the most from the invasion of mobsters from the East suffer from Spain and France. "The groups entrenched in France, it is extremely powerful ramifications," said Commissioner Zulas. Throughout the country there are two major clan and faction Usoyan Kutaisi. Initially, thieves have taken root in Spain, where they join the "second stage", according to police classification. This means that they managed to take root there. They have invested in luxury hotels. "Mafioso Nice, Caen and Poitiers have chosen this city for permanent residence, but they have not yet large-scale investment in housing or commerce. In Spain they are the owners of the luxury hotels. " However, recent investigations have revealed the presence in France, for example, a bar in Cannes and service center in Lille. Initially, only customers of small shops, bars and eateries are just fellow owners. However, newcomers to demonstrate good progress. "Because we are dealing with people who had come to France ten years ago without a penny in his pocket," – emphasizes the investigator. What should we expect now? Phase number three, that is rooting mafia bosses on French soil, without attempting to bribe public officials? "Until this has not come," exclaimed Dimitri Zulas. Police services from various European countries amounted to an international list of "thieves". In it – hundreds of "leaders": the godfathers, travel around the world. "of the Russian authorities to account for them at least a thousand, and they do not leave the country. The fact that their main business is still there. " Disassembly, one after another sixth of May of 2011 and Abdulla Erzanukaev Edward Markarian were killed Anton Sarkisian in the apartment, located in Nice, on boulevard Grosso. Abdullah Erzanukaev – a Chechen, who headed the three hundred families who settled in the city. Edward Markarian – Armenian. Anton Sarkisyan – a native of Georgia. The first two were "two steps away from being able to cut each other's throats in the year 2009, and now they were sitting at one table," said one of the French police. In the evening, "they are not just eating and drinking." In other words, they discussed business matters, perhaps – "obshchak", the same 15-protsennogo contribution, which are required to pay local chiefs, and which underlies the operation of the Caucasian mafia. March 18, 2010, the year it was the turn of Vladimir Janashia: Georgian kingpin who escaped death a month earlier, was assassinated in a suburb of Marseille. Other Georgians had better luck: November 3, 2010, the year he received a bullet wound in the station of Caen. Another of his compatriot – a 28-year-old Georgian – was wounded July 21, 2010 the first year of large-caliber weapons on the boulevard Tsarevich, all in the same Nice.
