...the parallel rise of far more powerful organised criminal gangs from Russia,.....Meanwhile Russian mobsters are involved in arms trafficking and cyber-crime.
"The Russian mafia are the most feared group," said Paulo Alteri, a criminal justice professor at Jefferson Community College in New York
While I do not discourage the pursuit and apprehension of the Italian mafia and their members, or any ethnic based crime group for that matter, it has troubled me somewhat that we hardly ever hear of any major arrests being made from the rising and powerful Russian mafia. It is basically common knowledge that they have made a name for themselves on the organized crime front here in the tri-state area and are involved in many many illegal activities. The Russian mob has become one of the most prowerful crime organizations over the last decade. Yet we rarely hear of any major progress being made by law enforcement on that front.
