Chapter 503

Langley, Virginia, home of the CIA. As the CIA's best torture experts pry Ben Ali's mouth open, a new mystery appears in front of the Columbia intelligence team. This is a Russian man who lives or once lived in the United States. He has a high status in Slavic gangs and is a respected lawbreaker. Although there is no more information, but the law thief itself filtered out a lot of suspects. Because Slavic gang members who can become law thieves will never be nobody.

Now the intelligence team needs to shift its focus from Colombia to the United States, and find out this Law thief with a good eye from the vast crowd. It's not the CIA's strong point to do this kind of thing. On the contrary, the FBI and the FEDA know more about organized crime in the country.

After the CIA reported the case to the FBI and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, it got a disappointing response. Even this organization knows little about Slavic gangs in the United States.

"Why not? Don't you know that this lawbreaker is Escobar's biggest arms supplier? " Asked the CIA liaison impatiently.

"I'm sorry, our main opponents are Italian and Latino gangs, and Slavic gangs are not the focus of our monitoring! And so far, we have found no direct evidence of such a big man in China. " He explained to the CIA liaison.

The responses from the FBI and the FEDA were not satisfactory, so the CIA had to find another way. They thought of a stupid way to find clues from the files of the federal prison administration of the Department of justice.

The Colombian intelligence group quickly called in more intelligence personnel to participate in the operation. They selected from the files of the federal prison administration those Russian prisoners with gang background and more than 10 years' imprisonment as a breakthrough. Generally, these criminals are the backbone members within the gang, and they have a wider range of information channels and contacts. If a lawbreaker is in the United States, they will never be unclear.

It's not enough to rely on the efforts of the CIA alone. They also have to fight against the expanding power of escoval. So the trivial task of going to prison to bring these prisoners up one by one is entrusted to the FBI, which is responsible for combating domestic criminal activities.

The FBI has interrogated hundreds of Russian prisoners with gang background in more than 50 federal and state prisons in various states of the United States. Most of them scoff at the FBI interrogation. However, they have found some clues.

"I know a few of them, but most of them came to the United States because of the persecution of the Soviet government. These people are either dead or retired now. "In a state prison in Virginia, an elderly prisoner was finally willing to answer questions from the FBI, but this guy had been locked up for so long that he didn't know a lot of things outside.

"The lawbreaker we are looking for should have come to the United States in recent years. He seems to be an arms dealer. " The FBI official asked, not giving up.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think that's the number one among the people I know. We were all penniless when we were expelled from our hometown, and then came to the United States without a word of English. The first thing after getting off the ship is to find an Orthodox Church, because the Orthodox Church will let us stay temporarily and help us find a job. A man like me can only cook in a Russian Restaurant on Brighton Beach, except for being a gangster

"Brighton Beach? Where is that? " The federal agent asked casually.

"It's a Russian community in New York. It's said that it was a playground a few years ago, but it was abandoned later. Nine out of ten new Soviet immigrants to this country lived in this place at the beginning." This kind of thing is no secret, so the prisoner has no scruples about it.

Federal agents talked to the prisoner for an hour or so. They took a complete record and handed it to the CIA. Although there is no actual content in this report, it is still treated by others because there are not many prisoners who are willing to speak.

After a month of investigation and analysis, the CIA still did not find any specific content. They felt that the lawbreaker seemed to have nothing to do with the gang members who had fallen behind in the United States. What these people said was of little value, but some key points in the record still attracted the attention of intelligence experts. That's the Russian communities that don't spread much on the East and west coasts.

Most of the Russian people who have been away from home have a strong local complex. You know, the earliest vodka brewers in the United States came from tsarist Russia. Although all Caucasians are the same in Asian eyes, the residents of Western and Eastern Europe have belonged to different races since Roman times. Most of the Western European people are descendants of Germanic and Celtic, while eastern Europe is Slavic. Later, after the split of the Roman Empire, the crucifix and the Pope were different in Western and Eastern Europe.

Most of the major immigrants in the United States come from Western Europe, so Slavs are not part of the mainstream society in the United States. Having your own community is a way for many American minorities to protect themselves.

The arrival of Russian immigrants was only a matter of a few decades. It was only after the October revolution that Russian immigrants came to settle in the United States one after another. In recent years, the number of real Russian Americans has not increased much. Most of the immigrants from the Soviet Union to the United States are Jews. Apart from that, there are only a few dissidents and defectors. Due to the small number of people, the Russian community has never been the focus of American monitoring. On the contrary, the Jews from the Soviet Union, the CIA has always been concerned.

Because the gains in the federal prison are not big, the CIA plans to carry out the following investigation activities from Soviet Jews or some key Russian communities. At the same time, the CIA's surveillance planes and naval vessels began to pay close attention to the ocean going freighters that frequently call in Colombia.

The efficiency of the FBI is still very high, but because Colombia is an economically underdeveloped country, almost all the goods need to be imported from abroad. Therefore, the progress of the investigation of transport ships is slow. On the contrary, there is a breakthrough in the investigation of the Russian community. A New York police report pointed out that I don't know when the reporting rate of Brighton Beach in the United States began to decline. It's incredible that the crime rate in this place near Brooklyn actually dropped.
