 Semion Mogilevich was born on June 30, 1946 in Kiev. Documental evidences
of his biography are found in the archives of law machinery. According to this data,
in the early 70s of the previous century Mogilevich was involved in currency
transactions. He was engaged in gangster groups and had legal proceedings with
the fraud twice.
Semion Mogilevich is the native of Russia, the Ukraine,
Israeli and Hungary. He is married with four children. Some people affirm that he
is married to many wives and his wives know each other and they settle al issues
and problems on a friendly basis without scandals.
Though Mogilevich has never been claimed for polygamy and it
is hopeless to prove that. There are many talks and gossips about Mogilevich of
various natures and nothing has been proved.
Newsweek and New York Times referring to unknown sources in
the FBI published the article in August 1999 that Mogilevich is engaged with $10
billion laundering scheme of «Russian mafia» through the Bank of New York
(BoNY). In 2001 the mass media informed that Mogilevich tried to sell the enriched
uranium at one of the Spanish resorts to representatives of Osama Bin Laden stolen
at the territory of the former USSR. Referring to the American special service,
Mogilevich was accused of laundering money received for transactions in Afghani
drugs. In 2003 Mogilevich was said to be related to the former Ministry of
Nuclear Energy Evgeniy Adamov.
He is said to establish the offshore company RosUkrEnergo
(RUE) in 2004 registered in the Swiss canton Zug and in January 2006 he
participated in signing the agreement between NJSC «Naftogaz of the Ukraine», «Gazprom»
and RUE.
The case was believed to open for Semion Mogilevich in the Ukraine
in 1993 and by 2005 his case was about 3000 pages. Though, his case was
believed to be destroyed during change of Security Service of Ukraine management in September
2005.
Yulia Timoshenko when talking about the energy of the Ukraine
announced that «one should go to meet Mogilevich not to Moscow but to Iran and
Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan» and this phrase proves the
influence of Mogilevich upon the power industry of the Ukraine. Though, Mogilevich
refuses his influence.
The American Special Services call Mogilevich the leader of
the Russian International mafia. The Israeli Special Service considers Mogilevich
the greatest threat to the security of Israeli and countries of Eastern Europe.
On the whole, he is believed to be the real Mafioso.
He was accused of being a murderer, a pimp, a fraud and then
Mogilevich used to go to the law and he took apologies. He was rejected to enter
into many countries. He takes the case to the court and wins and he is free to
travel anywhere.
Interpol and FBI searched him. He was put on the wanted list
in Great Britain and USA on suspicion on laundering Russian money and other
crimes. And the wanted criminal was living in Moscow that time, no hiding, no
fear and everybody knew his place.
Biography of Mogilevich is like that of Al Capone, not in
the core and details but in the nature and idea. A person who is known to
everyone but no one can prove anything, this is the image created about
Mogilevich. However, the association with Al Capone was not because of the word
«mafia» so frequently appeared in the case of his but because of the small
nuance happened with Mogilevich recently.
The point is that on January 24, 2008 Mogilevich was
arrested along with the owner to the network of the perfumer’s stores «Arbat
Prestige» like Al Capone accused of non-payment of taxes. On the top of it, the
lawyers were refused to set free the arrested for the huge amount of pledge.
The story ended in the other way than that of Al Capone’s. The
famous criminal was imprisoned for the long period of time but Mogilevich and
Nekrasov were set free on July 27, 2009 under a written undertaking not to
leave.
His case was repeatedly detached to the Prosecutor General’s
Office of the Russian Federation. Thus, nothing ended yet and Semion Mogilevich
will make his admirers enjoy his detective stories.
