Russian mobsters in control

25mar05

RUSSIAN mafia groups have infiltrated almost every branch of the economy and are now a huge threat to state security, the Interior Minister said yesterday.

More than 100 organised criminal groups had tentacles stretching across regional borders and often far beyond the borders of Russia itself, Rashid Nurgaliyev told Parliament.
"Organised crime is one of the main threats to the country's national security," Mr Nurgaliyev said.

The mafia has taken control over some 500 key businesses.

"To various extents, criminal groups have penetrated most of the nation's key industries," Mr Nurgaliyev said.
