Interior ministry: Criminal elements try to consolidate in Belarus
Criminal elements in Belarus have attempted to consolidate and restore the old influence, Interior Ministry spokeswoman Svetlana Borowskaya told Interfax news agency. These attempts were detected "after many years of silence", she said.
For instance, a group of extortionists led by a ganster alias Elia was busted, although there was no underworld boss in the city since late 1990s. However, Elia maintained contacts with a mademan who lived in Moscow and sent money to him.
