39 Reputed Mobsters Detained on Yacht

But almost all were released. Alleged to have been a meeting of "thieves-in-law" [vory v zakonye] at which a dispute between Oniani and Usoyan was either to be settled or war declared. Sounds fascinating, if true. It's all "alleged". Happened on a yacht in a reservoir near Moscow. Police commandos rapelled down from a helicopter. Cabaret?
