Moscow, Sunday: 45 year-old “thief-in-law” Vladimir Zhurakovskiy, more known as Vova Pukhliy (“Vova Plumpy”) was detained duing joint operation of Moscow Criminal Search Department and Department of Criminal Search of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The criminal general was caught not far from the “Dolls” night club in Krasnaya Presnya. During personal search of Zhurakovskiy 5.5 g of heroin was found.
Having been several times in prison, Zhurakovskiy previously held position of criminal watcher in the region of Caucasian Mineral Waters, as the Prime Crime News Agency reports. Right after conditional early relief in 2000 Pukhliy got a position of watcher in the city of Pyatigorsk, and next year in June he was crowned as “thief-in-law” upon recommendation of Ded Khasan. As they say, organizing of murder of one of Usoyan’s criminal enemies appeared to be a “pass” toward the criminal circle for Pukhliy.
In his patrimonial region Zhurakovskiy kept under control drug business, alcohol traffic from neighboring Northern-Caucasian republics and cargo transit in the territory of the Stavropolskiy Kray. In 2005 Pukhliy’s intensive activity was not to liking of influential mafia bosses. Zhurakovskiy did not show up at the criminal meeting which was called by Shakro Molodoy (Shakro the “Young”). As a result Zhurakovskiy was deprived of his status in his absence. Several months later Pukhliy moved to Moscow for permanent residence and, as they say, he settled down this matter and managed to get back his title.
Georgian “vor v zakone” Dzhondo Esebua, 34, known in criminal world as Dzhony Kutausskiy, was deported today from Russia by regular flight ”Moscow-Erevan” from “Vnukovo” Airport at 2 pm.
Esebua was detained on March 8 after he was released from Kirov Penal Colony where he had served four month sentence for drug storage. As to remind you, Dzhony was put into prison last year in July after police operation oriented on prevention of important criminal meeting which was lead by Tariel Oniani on Klyazminskoe lake. During Esebua detention, policemen found and confiscated about 1 g of heroin.
Esebua was set to international search by Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia as a person considered to be “vor v zakone”, Informational Agency “Prime Crime” reported. It is mostly expected that in Armenia Dzhoni will be extradited to Georgia. Relative of Esebua – Teymuraz Churadze, known as Aleko, husband of Dzhoni’s cousin, is already serving his sentence in Investigatory Detention Centre № 7, in the city of Tbilisi, where all Georgian “vor v zakone” are kept.
Last year in February the same route was followed by another Georgian mafia boss Koba Akhvlediani who was detained after release from Chuvashiya Colony. Ten days later Koba was deported to Armenia and then extradited to Georgia. However, in Tbilisi Akhvlediani was released from any detention without accusation. Now Koba who is eagerly wanted in Moscow by his enemies from Ded Khasan’s Clan, is thought to be in Turkey.
Police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Central Federal Region managed to prevent mafia meeting in one of Moscow restaurants yesterday. The mafia bosses had to hold this meeting as on the agenda they had a question of redistribution of influence in Pokrovskaya Fruit-Vegetable Warehouse, as investigative data says.
Among the participants there were 4 “vor v zakone” including Yusif Aliev, known as Yusuf Bakinskiy, Alibala Gamidov, known as Gadzha Yasamalskiy, Mamed Guseynov, known as Mamed Massalinskiy, and Teymuraz Faroyan, known as Teko Tbilisskiy. The first three men are the leaders of Azerbaijan criminal groups involved in racketeering on Moscow businessmen as well as in kidnapping.
During document check by the policemen Yusif Aliev presented passport issued for another person but with his picture. Information stored in police database showed that the mafia boss has been set to international search being accused of racketeering, murder and robbery in the territory of Azerbaijan since 2004. Now police are preparing documents for deportation.
Yusif Shamkhorskiy was crowned as “vor v zakone” last year in November during criminal meeting in Moscow in presence of such “vor v zakone” as Ded Khasan and Yaponchik, as “Prime Crime” News Agency reported. Together with Yusif that status was granted to 10 more criminal leaders, among those are Dzhemal Mamoyan known as Dzheko Tbilisskiy, detained in February.
During personal search of Gadzha policemen found 3.5 g of hashish. Police opened a criminal case due to this fact in accordance with Clause 228 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code (illegal drug storage). The legality of stay of the other two detained in the territory of the Russian Federation is now subject to check by Federal Migration Service.
