RUSSIAN MOB INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL CHOCOLATE TRAFFICKING

Members and associates of a New York City-based Russian organized crime group have been named in federal court papers, charged with racketeering, murder and trafficking thousands of pounds of stolen chocolate. The FBI’s Joint Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force arrested more than two dozen members of the group, called the Shulaya Enterprise, earlier this week. The group is accused of trafficking stolen goods – including large quantities of cigarettes and 10,000 pounds of chocolate confections.
