According to the FBI, he ran an international mafia syndicate from his apartment in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., in the 1990s and served eight years in prison in the U.S. for extortion and conspiracy. When he returned to Moscow following his release in 2004, he was set on retiring. "I met with him a few times, and he told me honestly that all he wanted in Russia was to rest," says Alexander Dobrovinsky, a Moscow attorney...
