I stumbled upon this article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toomas_Helin ) recently and became intrigued since I've never heard of Estonian or Finnic organized crime in general .

I know it's generally accepted that organized crime in the Baltic area is dominated by Russian or Russian speaking groups , while organized crime in Scandinavia is supposed to be dominated by Serbs , however there apparently do exist scant references regarding Finnish and Estonian criminal organizations .

So what is known about these alleged organizations ? Are they second stringers compared to the foreign groups in their countries ? Or do they wield a lot of power behind the scenes ?
