Russian organised crime (ROC) is on the increase, with new stories in the press appearing practically every day. In 1994, Boris Yeltsin announced in his address to the Duma (the Federal State Assembly) that Russia has become ‘the biggest Mafia State in the world’ and that it was now the ‘superpower of crime’. Louis Freeh, the director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, admitted in October 1997 to the US Congress that ROC was on the increase. The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Deutch in 1996 announced that ROC's spread was global and a potential ‘threat to political and economic reform in Russia’.
