| Russians mobsters in Australia | |
| 2005-04-10 | |
| RUSSIAN mobsters are reportedly moving in on Sydney's criminal underworld, with up to 50 mafia figures identified by state and federal police as operating in the city's eastern beaches. NSW police and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are concerned about the expanding influence of Russian organised crime in Sydney. According to a confidential AFP intelligence report, Russian crime figures were involved in heroin supply, fraud, murder, extortion, false passports, prostitution, internet child pornography and money laundering in Australia. Up to $60 million was reported to have been laundered, while KGB-linked groups had attempted to extort thousands of dollars from private business and government agencies with the threat of computer viruses. The "coalition of people of Eastern European descent" run criminal activities from Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.

| #1 We won't be able to repel them. Our cops are hopeless. All they're good for is harassing ordinary Aussies with speeding tickets and parking fines. At least the russian mafia are white so they won't be called racist every time they arrest. if only we could get rid of the Islamist tide that's risen here. |
