North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 250 Gangster History

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's domestic economic environment experienced tremendous changes. Most of the resources in all aspects of society were controlled by gangs and oligarchs. Due to the hardship of life and the destruction of social order, a large number of Russian immigrants also came to the United States.

The largest concentration of Russian immigrants in the United States is in New York. In order to facilitate management, the U.S. Immigration Service made a decision that they regretted for a long time. They stipulated that all entry options for Soviet immigrants except New York required an immigration fee.

, but this is not required here in New York, and there is a designated place of entry and residence, Brighton Beach.

The largest gathering place of Russians that has gradually formed since the Soviet Union's Great Migration Period. In addition to law-abiding people, it also naturally includes criminal thieves, former corrupt officials, former retired soldiers, former KGB agents, former members of the Gulag Hotel, etc.

, after thirty or forty years of development, complex and chaotic gangs, large and small, have formed here.

Because the composition of these immigrants is complex, and a considerable number of them are proficient in combat, assassination, assault, bribery, robbery, etc., they perfectly suppressed the previously formed Russian gangs, and then formed new gangs.

The Russian gangs they formed are completely different from the local gangs in the United States. For example, the Italian Mafia in the United States generally have strict hierarchical distinctions, similar to a pyramid structure, with a very clear reporting relationship between superiors and subordinates. This structure greatly enhances their ability to carry out monopoly crimes.

efficiency of activities.

The Russian gangs are not organized in the strict sense at all, and the structure is very loose. Small gangs have more than ten or twenty people, and large gangs only have a hundred or so people. Although this completely loose structure is better than Italy in terms of execution,

The gangs are much lower, but their total number is large.

Relying on the loose superior-subordinate relationship developed by large and small gangs, the Russian gang has a strong fighting capacity, but it is difficult to be cleaned up from the top like the Italian gang.

FBI files record that after years of crackdowns, the total number of mafia members is about 3,000 to 4,000, mainly consisting of a few families. The Russian gang has tens of thousands of people, among whom there are about a few thousand active members, scattered into hundreds.

Big and small gangs, the FBI couldn't even sort out a complete picture of the Russian gangs in the "Organized Crime Investigation Report".

Under such organizational circumstances, the FBI has always had a headache for Russian gangs. They can only find those gangs with clear evidence and deal with them one by one. However, the speed of processing cannot even match the speed of gang reorganization.

Jimmy looked at this information and couldn't help but feel that the world was too magical. When he was a county police officer, which gangster in Little Rock dared to quarrel with the police? His home was robbed, and he went directly to the gang stronghold, and they didn't even dare to let go.

Fart it out.

Now that they have become FBI, in a world-famous city like New York, these gangsters can almost call themselves kings.

The Trasov family is similar to other Russian gangs. It was also a small gang formed by the Trasov family at the beginning. Later, by chance, it got the support of some people and began to annex the small gangs. Gradually, it spread in Russia.

rose to fame among gangsters.

Later, under a deliberately arranged plan, Trasov killed another gang, thus establishing his top position in the gang. Under the leadership of Vigo Trasov, he began to expand outward, involving all districts in New York.

As well as major cities in the United States, in terms of strength, it is already close to the original Italian Mafia.

Speaking of which, there seems to be something missing from the FBI files. According to Ruiz, these gangs should have a protective umbrella. However, in these files, only the underworld business involved in the gangs seems to have deliberately avoided their protective umbrella.

As a well-known gangster, if he didn't have a protective umbrella, he would have been killed long ago.

But that's right, the FBI is just a link in the state's violence machine. Being able to serve as a protective umbrella shows that its status is definitely not low, and it is probably untouchable.

Jimmy looked through the information boredly and went back directly after get off work.

When Jimmy was bored, Viggo Trasov was dealing with the Crow Gang's troubles. Yes, the gang would handle it without the FBI getting involved. As long as it was done without causing any trouble to them, it would be over.

Small-scale battles do break out between Russian gangs, but they generally do not choose the mode of going directly to the lair to kill the boss. Although this seems clean and tidy, the gang members will be divided up by others immediately, and the territory will be lost.

If you want to rob other gangs, it is far less smooth than negotiating after the battle and directly merging the two gangs.

Judging from the technique, this is more like a vendetta, but most people don't have this level. What's more troublesome is that since Abram sent back the news, Vigo started to contact Nicholas of the Crow, but he never got in touch.

, including the backup contact information left privately by the bosses, there was no response, so Nikolai is probably gone.

The investigations carried out by gangs are different from the FBI. The FBI usually extracts information such as fingerprints and blood from the evidence, and then investigates the surrounding cameras and monitors. The gangs are more violent, starting directly from the crow's nest.

Investigation outside, including surrounding shops and households, began to investigate whether strangers were coming.

The reason why Vigo came to investigate is because Crow is now strictly a small gang affiliated with their gang. Ruiz did not just find someone to call because he knew the territory division in advance and directly notified Vigo, the boss. If he didn't want to be

If the FBI is harassing you, just settle the matter as soon as possible. Whether it's a vendetta or some other reason, just come to a conclusion.

If it really doesn't work, you can find someone who is willing to take the blame and go to jail. Although New York State has not completely abolished the death penalty, it has not been executed for many years. The person who takes the blame will take the money and go to jail for a few years. When he comes out, he can have a higher gang status.

As well as cash rewards, you can still find people for this kind of thing.

This is because the incident was recorded by the FBI. If there was no record and it was just handled internally by the gang, it would be simpler. Therefore, the person who called the police is the most hateful person. If the timing was not wrong, maybe he would have been drowned.

The biggest trouble now is that Nicholas has disappeared. I don't know if he was taken away from his lair, or if someone took him away from his lair after something happened outside.

The most important thing now is to track down Nikolai's whereabouts. We must confirm whether he is dead. If it is confirmed that he is dead, things will be easier to handle. If he is not dead, as an affiliated gang, Vigo has the obligation to deal with Nikolai's troubles.

Gangsters have gangster logic, and although it may not necessarily be good, the rules are the rules.
