Organized Crime Inside the Russian Government

The Klyuev Organized Crime Group has stolen at least $800 million from the Russian people with the aid and protection of the Russian government and it continues to operate today.

The false arrest, torture and murder of Sergei Magnitsky was arranged by the Klyuev Organized Crime Group after Sergei Magnitsky exposed the way it was systematically stealing from the Russian treasury.

The Klyuev Organized Crime Group has the full cooperation and protection of high ranking Russian government officials in law enforcement, the Tax Ministry, and the FSB, the successor to the KGB. In fact, many of the group’s most important members are Russian officials in law enforcement and the tax ministry.

The group has a long history of using its members in law enforcement to blame its crimes on people who are dead or who die under suspicious circumstances immediately after they are blamed.

Numerous criminal complaints have been filed with the Russian authorities exposing the group’s crimes. These complaints are known to all levels of the Russian government. However, the Russian government has chosen to protect the group from charges of theft of state funds, false arrest, torture, and murder.

The Kremlin has also made it the official foreign policy of the Russian Federation to protect the criminal group and the assets they have accumulated and hidden abroad from international sanctions. The Russian government has also chosen to attack Sergei Magnitsky, even after his death, for exposing the group.

Because the Klyuev Organized Crime Group contains members of the Russian government and because the highest authorities in Russia are protecting it, it is no longer possible to consider the group independent of the Russian government. Its crimes are state sanctioned. Its members are untouchable in Russia.
