More than Ten Illegal Casinos Uncovered in Moscow

From Echo Moskvy:

Interior Ministry report about a secret network of back street casinos in Moscow and the oblast

More than ten illegal gambling clubs have been found. The daily income of each location was over 100,000 roubles [£1800, 2,200€] per day. The organisers of the business were born in Georgia and Udmurtia. They controlled the club’s activities from a distance. Some suspect that the deputy head of the police department in the Moscow region of Biryulyovo-East was giving these illegal gambling businesses protection.

Comments from Echo Moskvy:

serpp:

Amnesty for the criminals!! A medal for the cop! We’ve been through this already.

winsearcher:

Links to protection – it’s a truly contagious disease. The consequences are well known: chase, prison, etc… but it’ll all end well, they’ll close the case, like they did with Ignatenko.

Classical Marxism was right. History repeats itself…

Hunt around in the capital, you’ll find a few more than that.

iwanow:

Disclosures like this have already taken place – the prosecutors are quickly amnestied by those they were covering for. I suppose they must have forgotten this Georgian of Udmurtian descent!

deltaplan:

We mustn’t blame the cop straight away. The powers that be won’t sell out their own. They’ll write that they didn’t find anything illegal about the cop’s activities.

A scientific version of pick-up sticks

dosenoffner:

Nice work, police! Now, you need to go after the next 100,000 backstreet stadiums in Moscow!

ded64:

Suspected, not accused.

algo:

They open them themselves, they protect them themselves to get medals, and then it all starts again.

andrejs:

The prosecutor’s getting rid of the competition.

They were being protected by the new generation of Moscow prosecutors.
