Russian Mafia Operating In Ireland

faustino1

Even though this is an old story, I think it's worth reminding people of the criminality that exists in Ireland today.

On my way to the shop earlier, I passed two young girls who looked to be in their late teens, early twenties were arguing outside an apartment complex.

On my way back, they were then arguing with some occupant before I was almost walking alongside them in direction of pubs/clubs.

I could tell they were speaking in Russian and in distress by their tone of voice.

Anyway, I crossed the street as we reached the busy area of town and saw them go into a local bar.

Nothing strange about that of course but, it's rumored Lithuanian and Russian gangs are operating in every town throughout Ireland.

Selling drugs and prostitution mainly, running legitimate businesses as a front for their criminality like buying clothes.

Does anyone know of the Russian Mafia operating here in Ireland?

I have some anecdotal evidence regarding beatings of junkies by Russians which leads me to believe the Mafia are operating here in Ireland in every major town and city.

Is this like the "do you know anyone in the IRA" thread ??

WilyCoyote

Have they not taking over the doors of some establishments in North Dublin?
Pushing out some of the Irish crims that no longer want to get their hands dirty.

You're quoting an article from the Indo ... and then referencing criminality that involves "buying clothes"?!

Worst ... scare mongering ... ever.

Do you sell your clothes to Lithuanians or Russians?

Festy

Deport these hooligans.

This is just the way life is unfortunately, call it scare mongering if you want.

The clothes shops are distribution points for the dealers...and by the way, Gardai know about it even if they won't admit it.

How could you tell that they were speaking Russian? The average Irish person could not distinguish the Russian language from Polish, Lithuanian, Czech or any other slavic language.

Wtf?

You saw two people you thinking might be Russian have an argument, but happily go on their way.

Then you link it to an ancient story and a made up thing in your head about the Russian mob?

Again. Wtf?

The Lithuanian that was recently shot in Rathcoole was heavily involved in that trade.

Because I'm familiar with hearing Russian speakers, they were 100% Russian.

The town I live in has Lithuanian drug dealers working out of a clothes shop...I kid you not. When a polish man didn't pay his debts, he was beaten by a gang of Russians in his own flat in front of his girlfriend. He ended up in hospital but nothing happened to perpetrators.

He is not scaremongering. Operation chestnut was set up by the Gardai to focus on the Lithuanian and Russian mobs operating from west Dublin.

Beating up junkies is kinda what dealers do,I don't get what makes them any worse than our homegrown lot.

You might think this is a joke but there was a polish man murdered last month by these gangs and they're still operating without any action from the authorities.

I wasn't joking. The Gardai called the operation targeting these Lithuanian gangs 'operation chestnut'.

Okay, I apologise. I'm not familiar with any Gardai operation.
What do you know? Thank you.

The Lithuanian gangs operate out of clothes shops.
Their drugs are delivered there and the dealers pick up from there.

I've no idea how the prostitution works exactly but they seem to work out of rented accommodation.

If I'm fabricating this, tell me I'm wrong.

The Gardai know what's going on.
Whether they have some 'operation' or not is debatable.

Fact is, Russian Mafia are operating throughout Ireland in all towns right now.

Right, so you would be happy for an unacknowledged/invisible gang to beat up people in Ireland with complete immunity?

Because let's face it...these gangs have immunity until you actually recognize they exist in your country.

tigger123

Uggggh! :pac:

faustino1

It's absolutely hilarious you people would acknowledge criminality from the so-called republicans but refuse to acknowledge the existence of Russian gangsters pushing prostitution and drugs in Ireland TODAY.

Is there any doubt at all why Ireland is a complete and utter failure?

Not really.

Won't someone think of the drug users and johns?

Honestly, OP, that's a pretty tenuous link between someone having a barney outside their gaff, and Russian and/or Lithuanian mafia.

I had the pleasure of overhearing a bunch of Lithuanian or Latvian women (I can't quite remember which) having a full blown screaming match one day. When I asked my friend (Polish, but can get by in Lituanian/Latvian/Slovakian) what that was about, it ended up being about one of their kids communions and how much she had spent on it.

I could have sworn it HAD to be at the very least about how one of them had murdered someone, but no. Was simply "You spent HOW MUCH on a caterer?!"

Ireland will become the criminal state of Europe and you people will no doubt defend it....from your mansion somewhere in a poor country, ruled by despotic regime.

Don't know what the fcuk you're on about,if a crime is committed it gets investigated,what difference does it make if it's committed by Irish,Russian or Chinese gangs.I'm pretty sure the guards have heard of the Russian Mafia.

To be honest, when it comes to criminality, gangs, and whatnot, we've still a fair bit to go before we catch up on some of the countries.

Yes, there are different gangs operating. Yes, gangs will move in where they think it will be profitable.

Your links between the 2 foreign chicks, and a Russian mafia is at best weak, and at worst, racist.

If you are in any way exposed to Russian speakers and Latvians the difference is quite audible even if you don't understand a word. Also everyone should go to Saint Petersburg at least once. Beautiful city and you will never not be able to recognise Russian again

What you meant to say was "I had the pleasure of a sex slave from Eastern Europe while the wife was away at the bingo. Just finished a long game of golf because I have no personality and the only woman that would **** me is a hooker"

When I asked my friend (Polish, but can get by in Lituanian/Latvian/Slovakian) what that was about, it ended up being about one of their kids communions and how much she had spent on it.

You realized you'd forgotten your golf clubs at the gay sauna.

Operation Wireless was set up to combat the Chinese Triads in Ireland. Operation Chestnut was set up to combat the Lithuanian/Russian mob.

The Gardai only set up these operations to target serious gangsters. Five lads selling a few ounces of coke are not considered a gang. The Gardai are currently targeting 25 major criminal gangs. Some of them are foreign born.

The thread starter is not scaremongering by pointing this out.

Oh we're playing that game tonight, are we?

Mrs. Sof. doesn't play bingo.
I don't play golf.
I don't pay for sex or water.

You realized you'd forgotten your golf clubs at the gay sauna.

Oh, so it's homosexual remarks now? Thought I had to pay for sex. But now I'm cruising saunas? If you're going with an insult, keep it consistant.

....right...

"As long as criminals aren't in my neighborhood, why should I care?"

Trust me, I have enough crime to watch out for here, without being petrified that someone may or may not be in a Russian gang. Start with home heating tanks being drained, by an Irish mob. Continue that up with home invasions, again Irish suspects. Murder a while ago, linked to a brothel, but Romanian woman, her husband, and an irate john, Slovak if I remember correctly. Social welfare fraud, jesus, take your pick of nationalities, but lets start with Irish.

Jog on, aren't you due to be on the Adrian Kennedy show soon?

We know there are criminal gangs operating in Ireland are the Russians worse than others?

Judging by the responses here, you deserve to have your country destroyed.

When you're sobbing about the criminality, take a look in the mirror you inbred useless *****.

You have said you know there is a business being used as a cover for a gang dealing drugs and you know of a Polish man who was assaulted..so presumably you have gone to the guards about this rather than just a message board?

Also from my own view I thought it was widely know that gangs from other countries had been in this country for a number of years now and as you have been told the guards have targeted them. Shouldn't that satisfy your original post?

Goodnight sweet prince of the xenophobes.

keeponhurling

On a serious note, anybody know how Russian or Chinese gansters can even get into this country?
Would they been known gangsters back home before they come here?

Gangs suggests a large number, not just one or two
