Three leading figures of the Russian-speaking mafia were arrested on Tuesday night by officers of the Sub-Directorate for Combating Organized Crime.
According to information, 15 people, with origins from Russia, Georgia and Ukraine, were initially brought in, including the three arrested .
The persons in question are said to be in Greece as part of the annual meeting for their "profession", while some of them carry the title "Vor V Zakone".
As it turned out, they love living lavushly, driving around in ultra-luxurious cars and with many thousands of euros in cash
The policemen of the Organized Crime Sub-Directorate set up their "block" just before Kolonaki, specifically at the junction of Panepistimiou Street and Voukourestiou streets Street, where they immobilized the mobsters' supercars.
Among the 3 arrested is a person with an Interpol "Red Notice", who reportedly refused to be fingerprinted by police and it is being examined whether and to what extent the Ukrainian passport he presented is legitimate.
