wonder how they spoke with the leaders of a leaderless movement on an anonymous message board
reminds me of "sources say"
ironically, this is the straightest group activity Cuomo ever participated in.
I don't think bigger than you can imagine refers necessarily just to human/child crimes.
Seems it's MUCH bigger and I can't fathom what that would be beyond biblical. Are we fighting satan, literally?

Treasury Targets the “Thieves-in-Law” Eurasian Transnational Criminal Organization
December 22, 2017
Designation also targets 10 individuals and two entities linked to the organization
Washington – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated the Eurasian criminal entity, the Thieves-in-Law, along with 10 individuals and two entities linked to the Thieves-in-Law, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13581, which targets significant transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and their supporters. The Thieves-in-Law is being targeted for its involvement in serious transnational criminal activities. Today’s action generally prohibits U.S. persons from conducting financial or other transactions with these individuals and entities, and freezes any assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
“The Thieves-in-Law is a Eurasian crime syndicate that has been linked to a long list of illicit activity across the globe,” said OFAC Director John E. Smith. “Treasury is designating the Thieves-in-Law as part of a broader strategy to disrupt the financial infrastructure of transnational criminal organizations that pose a threat to the United States and our allies.”
Today’s action is the latest in a series of designations pursuant to E.O. 13581, which supports the National Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime. E.O. 13581 provides OFAC with the authority to impose economic sanctions on TCOs.
The Thieves-in-Law originated in Stalinist prison camps. Its members are initiated or “crowned” after demonstrating an “ideal” criminal biography and take an oath to uphold a code that includes living exclusively off their criminal profits and supporting other Thieves-in-Law. Gatherings of Thieves-in-Law are called “skhodka,” during which decisions are made on issues, such as specific criminal activity, redistribution of criminal spheres of interest, responses to law enforcement operations, crowning of new Thieves-in-Law, and punishment of those who violate Thieves-in-Law traditions and customs. Law enforcement in various countries have attempted to break up such gatherings in order to prevent Thieves-in-Law from coordinating activities by raiding them and detaining the participants.
The Thieves-in-Law has grown into a vast criminal organization which has spread throughout the former Soviet Union, Europe, and the United States, engaging in a variety of crimes, such as money laundering, extortion, bribery, and robbery. These criminals and their activities within the United States have become a target for U.S. law enforcement. In 1995, a Thief-in-Law was arrested in New York and later deported to Russia after serving a nine-year sentence on extortion charges; another Thief-in-Law was sentenced to three years in prison in 2013 after pleading guilty in Manhattan to a racketeering conspiracy. As recently as this year, U.S. law enforcement indicted over two dozen people, including a Thief-in-Law, for their involvement in crimes including acts of violence, fraud, identity theft, and trafficking in stolen goods.

Police Arrest ‘Thieves-in-Law’ in Historic Spanish Bust
Friday, 06 July 2018
Spanish police said Thursday that they have derailed an extensive Eurasian crime network, arresting several high-level criminals known as “thieves-in-law” in one of the country’s largest ever operations against organized crime.
Operation Kus, carried out in the last week of June, concluded a two-and-a-half year investigation. It resulted in the arrest of 129 individuals across Spain and France, the majority of them Armenian.
Seven of those arrested are suspected “thieves-in-Law,” a title given to those from a Eurasian criminal hierarchy rooted in the gulag prisons of the former Soviet Union.
“This group of Armenian criminals that has been caught is simply the largest and most dangerous group in Europe right now,” Pedro Felicio, head of economic and property crime at Europol, said at a press conference Thursday.
“I’ve been a policeman for several years and I can count on the fingers of one hand operations that I have seen such as this one,” Bloomberg reported Felicio as saying.
During the operation, Spanish police conducted raids at more than 70 properties in several Spanish cities with support from Europol, Interpol, and French and Georgian law enforcement.
Authorities seized weapons, vehicles, jewellery, illicit cigarettes, marijuana plants, bulletproof vests, and some US$120,000 in cash.
The organized crime network is allegedly involved in a vast spectrum of illicit activity, including drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering, home burglaries, extortion, fraud, and corruption.
Police said the group smuggled contraband tobacco produced in Ukraine and Poland and distributed it throughout Europe. They were also purported to be involved in bribing basketball, beach volleyball, ice hockey and minor league tennis players in Azerbaijan and Russia to fix the outcome of matches.
The investigation was prompted by the murder of two Georgian citizens in Barcelona in 2016, which alerted authorities to a turf war between Georgian and Armenian factions of the vory v zakone, or “thieves-in-law” crime syndicate.
Given the wide scope of the criminal networks, agents divided the operation into two separate phases, the first of which culminated in the arrest of more than 30 Georgian nationals in November 2017.
Paul Stanfield, Interpol’s director of organized and emerging crime, emphasized the necessity of coordinated, international approaches to tackling organized crime. “These criminal networks have no regard for national borders as they seek to make a profit from their illicit activities,” he said in a statement.
According to Bloomberg, Felicio said organized crime in Europe generates $129 billion annually, of which authorities capture just 1.1 percent.

Police in 10 Countries Takes Down Cocaine Trafficking Gang
Wednesday, 23 September 2020
Today
A massive operation spanning ten countries and hundreds of law enforcement officers took down one of the most active cocaine-trafficking networks in Europe, an Albanian-speaking group that operated under the name Kompania Bello, Europol said.
A truly global enterprise, Kompania Bello had ties around the continent and across the Atlantic. (Source: Needpix.com)Officers arrested 20 suspects in nine countries, including one of the group’s leaders, Denis Matoshri, who was taken into custody in Dubai, Al-Arabiya reported. Operation Los Blancos was the result of a five-years-long investigation that previously saw 84 individuals arrested.
“For years, international importers of cocaine worked separately from the wholesalers and the gangs distributing the drug on the streets,” the agency said. ”In this case, the Albanian-speaking network under investigation ditched the entire model and controlled the whole chain – from arranging huge shipments directly from South America to the distribution throughout Europe.”
A truly global enterprise, Kompania Bello had ties around the continent and across the Atlantic.
“Using sophisticated encrypted communication means, the organisation’s ringleader – a 40-year old Albanian national based in Ecuador – negotiated directly with the South American drug cartels, arranged huge shipments of cocaine to the major ports of Europe and, with the help of accomplices based in Italy, the Netherlands and Albania, organised distribution throughout Europe,” said Europol.
Officers seized during last week’s operation four tons of cocaine and US$6.4 million in assets.
The group also operated a complex money laundering scheme, using a remittance system of Chinese origin known as a “fei ch’ien” in which people deposit a sum in a network ‘agency’ in one country and another operator withdraws the equivalent amount elsewhere in the world and passes it on to the intended recipient.
The system is difficult to detect as it does not leave traces of the transactions. The network is believed to have laundered millions of euro through this system.
