U.S. Eyes Possible Russian Oil Crime Link U.S. officials are checking allegations that one of Russia's reputed top crime figures may be involved in multibillion-dollar natural gas deals with Ukraine. A far-reaching investigation, coming at a time that Europe's dependence on Russian energy supplies is growing, focuses on Semion Mogilevich, 60, one of the FBI's most wanted men, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. It points up U.S. concern that the Russian mafia may spread its influence in the energy industry. Investigators are checking on connections between Mogilevich and Highrock Holding, a Cyprus-registered company. Highrock ships natural gas to Ukraine and other East European countries over pipelines owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom. The European Union gets a quarter of its natural gas from Russia, most of it shipped by pipeline across Ukraine. Mogilevich and an associate were indicted in Philadelphia in 2002 on money laundering and securities fraud charges, the Journal said. But, the United States has no extradition agreement with Russia. © 2006 UPI
