DJ Russia Has Over 400 Organized Criminal Groups -Police MOSCOW (AP)--Russia has more than 400 organized criminal groups with links to corrupt officials, which have a significant impact on the national economy, a senior police official said Tuesday. Alexander Yelin, a deputy head of the Interior Ministry department in charge of fighting organized crime, said that each of Russia's 88 provinces has at least one criminal group, and that big cities - the Russian capital in particular - have many. Organized criminal groups include some 10,000 members, Yelin said at a news conference. "They are linked to corrupt officials and represent a major threat to security of the regions," he said. About a quarter of the groups have links to foreign criminal clans, Yelin said. He said his department was increasing efforts to track down financial movements of criminal groups and to expose corrupt officials linked to them. He said national police had arrested about 80 crime lords last year. (END) Dow Jones Newswires
