In the 90's Latvia had two Thieves in Law - Zurab Shamugiya and Dubrik. In 1999 under unknown circumstances Dubrovenko went missing. It was really strange, because he changed two vehicles from his Mercedes S600 to an Audi 100 and said to his bodyguards to stay at his house. After a day the Audi got found in the nearby forest without it's owner.
His influence in the area was really big, he held all his city under control and even almost the whole region of Kurland and rumors say even a part of Riga. He kept Liepaja free of drugs, although he himself was a drug addict. He is named the 2nd top crime boss of Latvia, right after Ivan Kharitonov.
Anywhere he went, he always had two bodyguards with him, one near him and the other usually patrolled the outside of the building on the street.
Usually he drove a Mercedes S600 with the number plate "LIEPAJA", and was one of the first people who let people pass on crosswalks. He also donated a lot of his money to orphanages.
He was known to come to a meeting with important figures from Russia fully drunk.
