FBI agents have arrived in Moscow looking for Russian mafia members, who committed crimes on US territory. The FBI agents are particularly interested in four Russian criminals. Americans have asked the Russian police to locate a quartet of Russian mafia bosses: Evgeni Dvoskin, Konstantin Ginzburg, Victor Vulf and Alexander Gribov. Evgeni Dvoskin was born in the Ukrainian city Odessa but had been living in the USA since 1990. A Spokesman for the FBI said that Dvoskin had served a prison sentence in the same jail as the infamous Russian criminal Vyacheslav “Yaponchik” Ivankov. After their release they organized several financial schemes and illegally bought shares of four big US companies. Dvoskin was detained 15 times during 10 years of living in the USA.In 2001, Dvoskin was expelled from the US as an illegal immigrant. Two years later the US court opened a criminal case against Dvoskin for fraud and money laundering. Another of the FBI’s targets is Konstantin Ginzburg. The US intelligence service believes that 37-year-old Ginzburg is chief of a consortium of criminal gangs from the ex-USSR in US territory. FBI agents know from their own sources that the former Russian mafia leader Vyacheslav “Yaponchik” Ivankov entrusted Ginzburg with the role of “the head of the family”. FBI agents are also looking for Victor Vulf and Alexander Gribov. Vulf and his wife Natalia opened several fictitious building firms in the US. After amassing about $50 million the couple then fled the US for Russia.
Alexander Gribov, like Victor Vulf, is a financial swindler. He faked the existence of a network of medical centers in the US in order to claim insurance money for fictitious treatments and made $2,5 million. According to FBI information, Gribov is now living in Russia.
