The Belorussian mafias and gangs

Belorussian mafias and gangs

The peasants of Belarus, inspired by crooks in the Soviet Federation and the Tang clique, have been forming and joining several weapon, drug and human trafficking Bratvas (mafias) and have caused a ruckus within the nation, making the government lose millions in drug trafficking money. 

The most notable of these gangs are the Moglivech family, led by Sergi ‘Strach’ Moglivech, a feared ex-prison gang leader and ex-soldier, who commit such crimes as extortion, fraud, gambling, gun trafficking, drug trafficking, murder, murder-for-hire, robbery, and the 3 crimes which has placed it in the eyes of foreign governments, human trafficking, prostitution and domestic terrorist acts. For this, a heavy crackdown on what foreign charities and agencies believe to be a legal front for the family, Katrina cargo which supposedly is taking over $300,000 worth of drugs and weapons into the UK, Dutch republic, Moscow, the USA and many of the South American and Korean-Chinese groups. The mafia is allied with the Russian, Armenian, Azerbijjani, Georgian, Turkish, Bosnain, Chinese, Korean, several South American drug cartels, and Mexican/black gangs in the USA and has an active force of just under 40,000 members. The Moglivech is set to be in a mob war with the equally large Catherine family, and other mafias also walk around. 

The leader, Sergi ‘Strach (fear)’ Moglivech is the founder and established the family 23-years ago after he, and the remaining prison gang members, were released from prison. Sergi was an infantryman in the infamous 12th battalion, a group famed for its poor leadership which led to the death of most of the members when fighting insurgents in Ukraine. For this, Sergi and the other survivors ended up killing Commander Starz S.S Kolhen and ended up in prison for over 23-years. Sergi got the title ‘strach’ after a large riot while in prison where not even guards could stop him resulting in him getting shot 4 times.

Neighbourhood crime gangs which specialise in dealing drugs to the Belarusian people have also been popping up as of recent. Eversince the large drug and gambling crackdown, peasants have needed a way to surface their addictions, smarter peasants have been loaning drugs off mafias and selling it in a smaller pitch right the motherland. Most of these groups form from prison gangs, and enlist poor children to do their bidding for them and work in much poorer areas, near street stalls and within cheap government housing areas and in city centres.
