Mogilevich arrested

If youve never heard of Mogilevich then you havent been studying organised crime.
Here's Der Spiegel hinting that he controls Gazprom's partner RUE http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,394345,00.html
and here's the FBI wanted poster [nb, they spell it without the "y"]: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/alert/mogilevich_s.htm
He has his own Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semion_Mogilevich
and here's a useful piece from the Village Voice:

Its a pity he's been arrested in Moscow, as the trial wont add to our knowledge, I suspect.

Moscow Times report: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2008/01/25/001.html
Nothing seems to have reached the US papers yet....FBI not yet commenting? No extradition treaty between Moscow and Washington

Strange piece in Guardian, obviously written before arrest took place, alleging all sorts of connections between all sorts of odd people and hinting darkly that Litvinenko may have annoyed other people who might even have been connected with our man: http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,2246124,00.html
