Huge meeting of Russian mobsters raided by Special Forces — Vory v Zakone
Here is a fascinating glimpse into the venerable Russian underworld. Russian mobsters — the Vor v Zakone or Thieves in Law — are a powerful bunch, with one of the most interesting underworld codes among the world’s major organized crime groups. Let me tell you about it.

The Mob Reporter here with news from Russia, where authorities have their own special way of dealing with these mobsters that are notoriously anti-authoritarian. Unlike career criminals of other global underworld traditions — such as the Italian Mafia, who often mingle seamlessly in the upper world — the traditional Russian thieves are sworn to never cooperate with any government and never to earn an honest wage.
In this scene, in December, 2015, a large gathering of men aligned to two separate groups of Russian vors is cut short by Moscow police backed up by Russian Special Forces. It’s a large-scale Russian version of stop-and-frisk. Police detained 53 men gathering at a country club in a suburb of Moscow, Russia’s capital city. More than half of them had prior convictions. Several of them also bore the tell-tale tattoos of the vors — garish but deeply symbolic ink, usually done in prison, that tells others of their dedication to the thieves’ code and their personal criminal journey.
The meeting was to be a sit-down between two groups — over a BMW X6. Apparently a member of one group sold the BMW to a member of the other, without warning him it was stolen. The buyer considered this an insult and sought compensation, if not retaliation. About 30 men from each side came to the meeting.
