Russia’s “King of the Underworld” nabbed in raid in his luxurious Moscow mansion | вора в законе 🇷🇺
One of Russia’s most notorious crime bosses Zakhary Kalashov — better known by the pseudonym Shakro Molodoi or the nickname “Shakro the Young” — was arrested in his luxurious Moscow mansion. On July 12, 2016, a heavily armed Federal Security Service (FSB) squad swooped into his home in Moscow’s elite suburban district of Rublevka and arrested him. At least nine of his men are seen lying on the ground with their hands on their heads as police guns are trained on them.
Kalashov is named as a leading member of the vor v zakone, or "thieves-in-law," the pre-eminent criminal organization in Russia’s underworld — equivalent to being a “made man” in the Italian Mafia.
Kalashov, 63, was charged with extortion linked to a high-level financial dispute over a restaurant, a Korean eatery named Elements. The dispute got out of hand in December 2015 when a confrontation between armed gangs erupted in gunfire, killing two and injuring eight.
Apparently in his kitchen, with a video camera rolling, Kalashov is asked: “Do you consider yourself a thief-in-law?”
“I will not talk in front of the camera, are you kidding me? Don’t make a show out of it. Turn off the camera and we’ll talk,” he said. “It’s not a show, we need it,” an officer is heard saying. He later pleaded not guilty in court.
The traditional notion of the Thieves is a band of elite criminals formed in the dire, 1930s Soviet era; opposed to the government and declaring themselves outlaws, and vowed to live by the thieves’ code: never to marry, never to have a legitimate job, never to pay taxes, never to own property, never to cooperate or associate with the government or authorities in any way, never to rat on others, never to commit “unworthy” acts.
As with all such organizations, it corrupted and devolved over time. Today the vors are largely bloated, crooked gangsters who live in mansions like where Kalashov was arrested.
Kalashov’s relaxed reaction to police suggests both his power and his comfort with arrests: He has been arrested several times in different countries. He has been accused of being in charge of the Russian mob’s flows of money through Europe. A court in Spain found him guilty of money laundering and gangsterism and after nine years in prison he was deported to Russia in 2014, against the wishes of Georgia, where he had been sentenced in absentia to 18 years in prison for murder.
In Russia he was freed and lived large.
He is said to have ascended the ranks of the vory v zakone after the death of Aslan Ûsoyan, known as Grandpa Hassan or Ded Khasan, who was killed in 2013. Ûsoyan was killed by a sniper in central Moscow.
His name is also spelled Shakro Molodoy or Шакро Молодого in Russian.
