Organized Crime in Ukraine: Challenge and Response
https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/198321.pdf
"In April 2000, for example, two men from Donetsk were killed and another wounded after they tried to open an alcohol business in Kiev"
THOSE WERE THE DAYS, sigh
Lviv
"In 1995, in the city of Lviv, at least 130 newborns were stolen from their mothers and sold to couples in the US and Western Europe. The ring was part of a larger conspiracy that secreted over 800 babies out of Ukraine.
The In the middle of 1990s, the trafficking in persons-specifically the sale of babies sold for an estimated 40,000 USD per baby. When the baby smuggling ring was first identified, it involved three doctors and other unidentified officials who helped forge the paperwork necessary to shield the disappearance and the transfer of the babies. During the investigation, however, ties to organized crime were identified and it emerged that criminal penetration of critical ministries had led to protection of the smuggling ring."
Odessa
"Another opponent of the new terminal was Leonid Minin, a Ukrainian entrepreneur, believed to be one of the most important members of what was known as the “Neftemafija” or “oil mafia” operating in Italy.
Minin, who was involved in arms trafficking to Sierra Leone, was head of a group of approximately 20 Ukrainian criminals based in Rome, but active in other European cities including Brussels.
Although Minin had Israeli citizenship, other members of the group married Italian women in order to obtain citizenship. One of the key figures in the organization was Alexandr Tcherniak, who facilitated settlement of members in Italy and acted as the key communication link with Odessa.
His Grandmother was the custodian of the obshak or common fund, and accepted criminal proceeds from members of the network based in Odessa."
