“Defendant’s Crimes Included Arson, Extortion and Illegal Gambling in Brooklyn

Aleksey Tsvetkov, a leader of a violent, Brooklyn-based Eastern European organized crime syndicate that operated primarily in the Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach and Coney Island neighborhoods”
“Between 2011 and May 2017, Tsvetkov and his co-conspirators, born in states of the former Soviet Union, including Russia, Ukraine and Moldova, operated as a racketeering syndicate. The syndicate members were linked to high-level members of Russian organized crime, known as...
... “thieves in law,” or “thieves,” who authorized syndicate members to use violence in the United States and abroad to protect their criminal activities.”

“As established at trial, in 2016, Tsvetkov partnered in an illegal high-stakes poker game on Coney Island Avenue that generated substantial profits for the syndicate. In the spring of 2016, Tsvetkov and other syndicate members enlisted two co-
... conspirators to set fire to a mixed-use a building on Voorhies Avenue that housed a rival poker game on the ground floor.”

“to find an extortion victim who owed the syndicate more than $40,000, a co-conspirator enlisted the help of “thieves” in Russia to track down the victim’s father in Moscow. Subsequently, after locating the victim, a co-conspirator was...
... recorded on a wiretap stating, the “Thieves have found him . . . in Israel,” and “they were at [his] place today.” The co-conspirators regularly reported to Tsvetkov as debt payments were collected from the victim.”
November 9 2016 is the date the arrests were announced.
Try that on for size.
