National Police Chief Dekanoidze: Mafia Bosses Act for FSB in Ukraine
Powerful mafia bosses who can impact politics and make deals with politicians are acting on behalf of the Russian intelligence service in Ukraine, National Police Chief Khatia Dekanoidze said during an interview to LB.ua.
"Mafia bosses are, first and foremost, criminal leaders who aim to destabilize the situation in Ukraine. I am totally sure that all the mafia bosses – be they Russian, Georgian or Ukrainian – act for the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia," she stressed.
Some leading mafia bosses can make deals with politicians and influence politics. This happened in Georgia under the rule of President Shevardnadze, she claims. Later on, Georgia adopted a law establishing liability for having links with the criminal community, while the Ukrainian Parliament has failed to do so.
