Russian and Polish gangs on brink of war warn informers

"The shooting of Mrówa was a signal for all criminal groups that the gang is not afraid to kill someone like the son of 'Dziad'. That gang is tough and everyone should be afraid," said police informers. This was allegedly supposed to be a sign for Russian mafia, which has had good relations with their Polish counterparts until a new generation of gangsters began reaching for power in the underworld. "The old ones are behind bars, while the young ones do not want to cooperate with the Russian gangs, they are ready to fight," Dziennik learnt from informers. The young gangsters, who are expanding their influence, have run into interests of Russians and want to take them over. At stake is the domestic drug business worth many millions of złoty.
