Semjon Judkowitsch Mogilewitsch

Semjon Judkowitsch Mogilevič ( Russian Семён Юдкович Могилевич , scientific transliteration Semën Judkovič Mogilevič ; born June 30, 1946 in Kiev , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ) is of Jewish-Ukrainian origin and one of the leaders of the numerous Russian Mafia groups . He is accused by the FBI of being a leader in organized crime in Russia . According to a World Bank report , he is suspected of being a head of the Russian Solnzewo Brotherhood . Mogilevich, according to the World Bank, has built up a fortune with arms trading , extortion and prostitution . A working paper of the European Society of Criminology calls him one of the “most feared leaders in organized crime”.

The British journalist Luke Harding wrote in his book Mafia State in 2011 that Mogilevich possessed the ability to use the most complex fraud systems for his personal gain and was one of the first to recognize the opportunities offered by capitalism and the gradual convergence of criminals World recognized with politics in Russia. Mogilevich had an incredible intuition and understanding of the global economy, which allowed him to make a huge fortune of about $ 10 billion, according to Harding.

FBI director Robert Mueller accused Mogilevich in 2005 of creating an influential organized crime group involved in drug and arms trafficking, prostitution, money laundering and fraudulent activity on the American and Canadian stock exchanges.

Origin and family

Mogilevich was born in the Kiev district of Podil (Kiev) as the son of a middle-class Jewish family. His mother Genja Tewjewna Schepelskaja was a doctor and his father Judka Mogilewitsch was the director of a large printing company in Kiev.

education

At the age of 22 he graduated from Lviv University's Faculty of Economics . He was considered a brilliant student with a photographic memory. It was often mentioned later in the press that his strengths included an excellent memory, sharp mind, and the ability to make quick decisions.

Criminal activity

Minor offenses within the Ljubblezkaya group

He began his criminal career in Kiev in the 1970s. According to the files of the Soviet militia , he had at the time cultivated connections to organized crime in Moscow. Above all, he had worked for the Lyubetskaya mafia group (so named after the city Lyubertsy in Moscow Oblast) and dealt with minor fraud and foreign exchange trading on the black market . He also made a profit from funeral arrangements. He was tried twice in Kiev for his criminal activities: he was jailed for three years for the first time in 1973 for illegal foreign exchange transactions. The second time he was sentenced to four years for fraud in 1977.

The investigator of the Kiev Public Prosecutor's Office and later Deputy Prosecutor General Sergei Markijanowitsch Vinokurov was responsible for the second arrest. Decades later, he recalled that this fraud had to do with Semyon Yachimovich (alias Byk), the leader of a criminal organization from Podil , whose members worked as butchers in the Kiev market. Yachimovich had decided to emigrate from the USSR and was planning to secretly exchange a total of 20,000 rubles for 8,000 dollars. At that time, exchanging the ruble for foreign currencies was a criminal offense in the Soviet Union. He turned to Semyon Mogilevich with his request. He had the idea to carry out the transaction through the foreign student named Adam, who, as it later turned out, was a relative of the President of Zaire . Adam came to the agreed meeting point with a young woman. He took the bag with the 20,000 rubles from Jachimowitsch and handed it to the woman who disappeared into a doorway, allegedly to check the completeness of the money. A militiaman then appeared and arrested Yachimovich and Mogilevich. Mogilevich was able to escape from the vehicle during the drive to the district militia branch and Yachimovich was later released for lack of evidence. Yachimovich realized that he had fallen victim to a fraud and that Mogilevich, Adam, the young woman and the militiaman had worked together. There was an armed mass brawl between the "butchers" from Podil and members of a Kiev criminal group supported by Mogilevich. So this case became known to the authorities and everyone involved was arrested. Mogilevich was sentenced to four years for fraud and Yachimovich to nine years for organizing an attempted murder. It was not until the late 1980s that Vinokurov found out that Mogilevich and Yachimovich were once again on friendly terms with one another. Mogilevich had paid Yachimovich 100,000 rubles in compensation for every year he served in prison and had also given him his sphere of influence, the Kiev train station , to carry out criminal activities.

Fraud against Jewish emigrants

In the 1980s he took part in organizational measures to make it easier for Soviet Jews to travel to Israel . At that time the USSR had no diplomatic relations with Israel. A visa could only be obtained through the Dutch consulate. The main problem of the emigrating Jews was that the Soviet laws forbade it to take valuables (paintings, jewelry etc.) and money out of the country. Mogilevich's fraud scheme stipulated that in the evening after business hours an employee of the consulate, a Mogilevich straw man, met the Jews wishing to leave the country in his office and offered them to surrender their valuables and money to him for a fee and to receive them back upon arrival in Israel. Hundreds of Jewish emigrants trusted this proposal and only realized in Israel that they had fallen victim to a deceiver. With this coup Mogilevich, who never appeared personally, was very successful and earned large sums of money.

Partnership with the Solntsevskaya group

In the early 1980s Mogilevich joined the Solnzewo Brotherhood . Often his business affairs were intertwined with those of Solntsevskaya. His relationship with leaders Sergei Mikhailov and Viktor Aveverin were fearful but not submissive. Mikhailov and Aveverin used Mogilevich to conduct various financial transactions.

In the mid-1980s, Mogilevich moved his residence from Kiev to Moscow. During the years of perestroika , Mogilewitsch founded the oil company Arbat International in Moscow with Sergei Timofejew (alias: Silvestr), the leader of the Orechovskaya group that allied with the Solnzewo-Bratwa in 1989 . The oil was transported to other countries on ships that were rented from the state-owned Black Sea shipping company . The “thief in the law” Vyacheslav Ivankov was also involved in founding Arbat International .

One of the first joint activities of Mogilevich and Mikhailov in the late 1980s was the operation of several stalls at Moscow-Vnukowo Airport , where they traded flowers and various necessities. In an interview, Mikhailov emphasized that Mogilevich constantly had unusual ideas. One such idea was the introduction of chargeable public toilets at Moscow train stations operated by Mogilevich's Vnukovo cooperative .

1993 Mogilevich to have partnered with Solnzewskaja to a joint company that the stolen goods from in Eastern Europe operating stolen art and church treasures.

Marriage of convenience in Poland

In the late 1980s, Mogilevich moved to Poland for about a year. For this purpose he went through a middleman, with a Polish woman, a marriage of one. He never met the woman herself. What activities Mogilevich pursued in Poland remains in the dark.

Expansion of business to Israel

In early 1990, Mogilevich, like many other leaders of the Russian mafia groups, fled Moscow to avoid violent clashes between the gangs. He emigrated to Israel with his most important henchmen and settled in Herzlia , a city outside Tel Aviv where mainly diplomats lived. In total, Mogilevich spent almost 10 years in Israel. He received Israeli citizenship in November 1991. Although he was Jewish himself, he applied for citizenship in a different name by presenting a fake birth certificate.

Soon after his arrival in Israel, he came under the spotlight of the Israeli police on suspicion that he belonged to the Russian mafia. By then, Mogilevich was already well known in the criminal world. According to the Israeli newspaper Jedi'ot Acharonot , which had access to the police files, Mogilevich was monitored for a long time by tapping his phone calls. The newspaper found that Mogilevich used Israel as a place of refuge and recreation, as well as a starting point for his legal and criminal dealings. In addition to legal activities, such as running night clubs or producing schnapps, he is said to have set up a worldwide network of arms trafficking, prostitution and drug smuggling in Israel. According to the report by the Israeli intelligence service, he succeeded in setting up a base in Israel and benefiting from free entry and exit from his Israeli citizenship and his Jewishness.

He made contact with Russian and Israeli criminals and, through his deputies, kept control of several companies, such as an international catering service for kosher meals, a tourism company and a real estate company. Since 1991 he has opened bank accounts in Israel on behalf of various companies and attended meetings with other well-known criminals. According to the FBI, Mogilevich, who reportedly operated money laundering for Colombian and Russian organized crime, also owned an Israeli bank with branches in Moscow, Cyprus and Tel Aviv. He tried, but unsuccessfully, to gain control of the "Carmel Mizrahi" liquor factory.

According to the Israeli police, Mogilevich and the leaders of the Solnzewo brotherhood Sergei Anatolyevich Mikhailov and Viktor Aveverin met in May 1995 in the Russian restaurant "Samovar" in Netanya . The Israeli authorities monitored this meeting as part of Operation Russian Roman. There were also three police officers present at the meeting, apparently working for Mogilevich. The Israeli security authorities were unable to arrest Mogilevich because there was no clear evidence of his criminal activity on Israeli territory. All criminal activities were carried out through third parties so that Mogilevich could keep a "clean slate".

In the mid-1990s, Mogilevich took control of Moscow's Inkombank , according to a report by the American-Russian press club. This put him in a top position in organized crime.

Establishment of Solnzewo bases in Hungary and the Czech Republic

In 1991 he married again, this time the Hungarian Katalin Papp, in order to get to Hungary legally, where he set up a new base for his criminal activities in cooperation with the Solnzewo Brotherhood. In Hungary he maintained good contacts with the police chief in Budapest, the interior ministry and the representative of Interpol.

Prostitution ring

After arriving in Budapest , he acquired the Black & White nightclub and several other companies. At the beginning of 1991 he bought the night club “Black & White” and the restaurant “U Holubu” in Prague . According to American investigators, the nightclub "Black & White" served as a cover for a brothel. Further branches were opened in Riga and Kiev. The locations of “Black & White”, where Mogilevich primarily deployed Russian and German women, developed into leading prostitution centers. In order to expand his nightclub and prostitution network, Mogilevich started exporting young women from the CIS countries . To do this, he established contact with Igor Anatoljewitsch Tkachenko (alias: Tscherep), the leader of a Kiev mafia group.

The Czech security information service BIS identified Aleksei Viktorovich Aleksandrov (born 1959) as one of the main characters in Mogilevich's mafia organization. According to the FBI, he and his brother Viktor Aleksandrow had the code name Santechniki (sewage technician). For Mogilevich he managed the Czech branch of Arigon in Prague between 1993 and 1995 , where he generally acted as its negotiator. Aleksandrov was an Israeli citizen and traveled extensively to Russia, Europe and the United States. In the prostitution business he was primarily responsible for infiltrating Russian girls into the Czech market and creating a legitimate cover for them. Mogilevich, together with Vitaly Savalovsky, one of the leaders of his mafia organization, provided bodyguards to protect the prostitutes. Aleksandrov has degrees in economics and engineering and therefore, unlike many other members of the Mogilevich organization, has a professional demeanor. According to Interpol, Aleksandrov also ran Mogilevich's company, Arbat International . Following the police raid on U Holubu restaurant on May 31, 1995, the Czech authorities declared Aleksandrov a persona non grata and banned him from entering the country for the next 10 years, while the British authorities imposed a life ban. Semyon Mogilevich, Anatoli Katritsch, Viktor Averin and Sergei Michailow were also affected by the ban. Aleksandrov was also Mogilevich's contact person with the Hungarian National Police, which provided him with adverse information about possible competitors.

In 1992 Mogilevich strengthened his ties with other Russian and Eurasian mafia groups by selling his stake in the prostitution business to the Solnzewo Brotherhood and the Ivankov Organization. Monja Elson was, by her own admission, one of Mogilevich's business partners in this area. In Budapest, “Black & White” became the starting point for Mogilevich's global activities.

Jewelry fraud

Together with the Solnzewo Brotherhood, Mogilevich acquired a jewelry factory in Budapest. His agents notified museums in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic that the factory is professionally restoring jewelry. As a result, many museums began working with the Budapest jewelry factory. However, it later turned out that the museums had got back well-made copies instead of the restored art objects such as Fabergé eggs . The real Fabergé eggs were later auctioned at the Sotheby’s auction house through intermediaries .

Arms trade

Another company acquired was Arigon Ltd. that emerged from the company Arbat International . Through Arigon , with the support of Viktor Naischuller, Mogilewitsch received 90% shares worth 701 million forints in Army Co-op . With the help of Army Co-op , Hungary's third largest state machine factory, Diósgyőri Gépgyár, or DIGEP for short, in Miskolc , which filed for bankruptcy in 1991, was privatized. This transaction allowed Mogilevich to participate directly in the Hungarian arms industry.

He is said to have conducted legal and illegal arms deals through Hungarian companies, including with Iran.

Securities fraud through YBM Magnex

After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Mogilevich changed his approach to his criminal activities and from 1992 turned to international investments and illegal financial speculation, for example he exchanged rubles for East German marks .

In 1992 Mogilevich founded the company YBM Magnex together with Michailow and Awerin . His business partners were Anatoly Kulachenko, Igor Fischerman, Aleksandr Aleksandrov (former member of the State Duma), Jakob Bogatin, Frank Greenwald and Sergei Maksimov. The company headquarters were soon relocated to Pennsylvania . In 1994, YBM shares were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and bought up by investors. The main shareholders were the wives of Michas and Avevera - Lyudmila Michailowa and Lyudmila Awerina. The company officially manufactured industrial magnets, but was primarily used to smuggle mafia money into the North American markets. The company claimed to make industrial magnets and metal goods. It was found, however, that their factory premises were in the annex of a previous school, where it would be impossible to accommodate 165 employees and produce $ 20 million worth of goods, according to YBM's annual accounts. The defrauded shareholders went to court and demanded compensation of $ 150 million.

In the 1990s, Mogilevich conducted business in the United States through his company YBM Magnex International Inc. without actually entering the country. His company’s stock traded high on Wall Street . YBM Magnex is said to have manufactured industrial magnets in Hungary, but in reality Mogilevich was involved in money laundering through his company. In the USA he was nicknamed "Brainy Don" (Eng. "Intelligent Don ").

Mogilevich was wanted by the FBI for extortion, money laundering and fraud. Investors are said to have lost around $ 150 million, in particular because of fraud in connection with shares in YBM Magnex International Inc. Mogilevich himself denied all allegations in an interview with the Moscow daily Moskovsky Komsomolets in August 1999 . As reported in October 2005, he was living under a different name in a suburb of Moscow at that time. In January 2008, Mogilevich was arrested in Moscow on suspicion of tax evasion, and the US applied for his extradition. However, he was released in July 2009 and the criminal investigation against him was later dropped. As of October 2009, he was on the FBI's list of the ten most wanted fugitives .

Mogilevich is associated with the illegal transfer of billions (in dollars) of money from Russia to the West, including aid money. In this context, the companies Benex Worldwide Ltd. and the company YBM Magnex International Inc. called.

Mogilevich also owned a furniture factory in London and a casino in Moscow.

More marriages

Katalina Papp, Mogilevich's Hungarian wife, allegedly died in December 1994 of acute heart failure. Immediately afterwards he married the Russian-born Israelite Galina Aleksejewna Telesch. Mogilevich took her name and after a short time divorced. In 1999 he left Hungary and returned to Russia as Semjon Judkowitsch Telesch. Already on March 27, 1999, Mogilevich married Natalja Ivanovna Palagnyuk (born 1970), a laundress who worked in kindergarten. And again he took the name of his wife and was now Sergei Yuryevich Palagnyuk. In September 2001 a daughter was born. With the help of her husband, Natalja Palagnjuk had a steep career, because she soon rose from a laundress to educational psychologist, employee of a school in Moscow Oblast. Just three months after his marriage to Natalja Palagnyuk, Mogilewitsch married Olga Valeryevna Schneider (born 1975) in the Moscow district of Solnzewo in June 1999 and, as usual, took over her family name. For some reason Mogilevich felt it necessary to change the day of his birth from June 30th to July 5th.

Business in the Ukrainian energy sector

Mogilevich was already an important figure in the Ukrainian natural gas industry in the mid-1990s. At that time he was a business partner of the company Itera , which bought natural gas from Turkmenistan and sold it to Ukraine. Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Firtash , who lived in London and was the fifth richest man in Ukraine with a fortune of around $ 3.4 billion (according to the Polish news magazine Wprost ), did not get into the Ukrainian natural gas trade until the late 1990s. As early as 2002 he succeeded in ousting the Itera company from the market and taking its place. According to Firtash, Mogilevich has developed a scheme to bring all natural gas supplies from Turkmenistan and at the same time the entire natural gas market of Ukraine under his control. With this idea, Mogilevich and Itera boss Igor Makarov approached the deputy chairman of Gazprom Vyacheslav Sheremet. Mogilevich, and with it Itera , quickly came to an agreement with the then Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lasarenko and his “right hand” Julija Tymoshenko . The United States Department of Justice suspected Itera of doing business with Mogilevich and opened an investigation in 2007 to determine the extent to which Mogilevich affected Ukraine's natural gas market. The Wall Street Journal viewed Firtash as the link between Itera and Mogilevich. Itera dismissed any suspicions that Mogilevich was her business partner or that her real owners are the founding fathers of Gazprom. In the mid-1990s, Mogilevich was one of the most important criminal authorities in Russia and had good connections with those in power in the Russian government. For example, when his company Arbat International bought shares in the National Sports Fund, Russia flooded Russia with counterfeit vodkas “Absolut” and “Rasputin” produced by Mogilevich's companies in Hungary.

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko accused Mogilevich of being behind the RosUkrEnergo company involved in the Russian-Ukrainian gas dispute, but Mogilevich has denied any allegations in that direction.

Arigon also sold clothing in the former Soviet Union and oil to the Ukrainian railway company Ukrzalisnyzja . In addition, Mogilevich did business with the Ukrainian energy minister and several energy companies.

additional

In addition to his Russian and Israeli citizenship, Mogilevich had at least 17 passports from different countries.

According to FBI and Interpol information, Mogilewitsch hid his identity behind a wide variety of names, some of which he took over from his wives (spellings may differ): Semion Mogleritis, Semion Mogrilez, Sergei Magrilez, Semjon Telesch, Sergei Palagnjuk, Semjon Palagnjuk, Shimon Makelwitsch, Seimon Mogilewsk, Lev Fisherman, Simeon Teles, Semjon Judkowitsch, Sergei Mangrijaz, Sergei Schneider, Seva Schnaider, Seva Magelansky, Seva Moguilevich, Semion Mogeilegtin and many others.

According to the FBI in April 2011, Mogilevich lives undisturbed in Moscow. Since his whereabouts are known, but he is beyond the reach of the FBI, the FBI removed him from its top ten list in 2015. However, it continues to search for him.

One of Mogilevich's lawyers was William S. Sessions , former director of the FBI.

In the 2018 documentary "Active Measures" by American director Jack Bryan, it is claimed that the paths of Mogilevich and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin crossed in 1993. All that can be confirmed is that at the beginning of the 2000s Mogilevich was present at various events with Putin’s participation.

In 1993, the Ukrainian domestic secret service " Slushba bespeky Ukrajiny " (SBU) created a file on Mogilevich, which by 2005 had grown to around 3,000 pages. Despite the ban on the new SBU head Ihor Drishchanyj, the file was destroyed in September 2005.

In December 2004, FBI agent Jeffrey Lampinski came to Moscow to search for Mogilevich, but could not find him at any address he knew.

On December 5, 2004, during a ceremony, Mogilevich presented the synagogue in the Moscow district of Marjina Roschtscha with a Torah that had been painstakingly drawn up on his behalf for a whole year by a Sofer . Every orthodox Jew has to complete a handwritten Torah in the course of his life either himself or on request. The last letters are written directly in the synagogue. The Torah was worth $ 50,000. According to eyewitness reports, many prominent figures were present at the ceremony.

Private

Mogilevich was a polygamist . When he moved from Kiev to Moscow in the mid-1980s, he married a wife there, although he already had a wife in Kiev. In the course of his life he entered into several marriages of convenience. Fictitious marriages with a Polish woman and an Israelite are known. Mogilevich's Hungarian wife died in December 1994, and one year later he married his Russian-Israeli partner Galina Alexejewna Telesch-Jambulskaja. Their son was born in September 1990.

Mogilevich is the father of four children. He is a passionate smoker, skier and likes to play Préférence .
