Mogilevich had a heart attack?

The defence has made a request for Mogilevich to be released on bail for health reasons. He apparently suffered a heart attack last Saturday.

Suitcase nukes are not just fantasy. Federal officials and medical experts are preparing for the unthinkable, a nuclear terrorist attack...


Preparing for the unthinkable - nuclear attack


If terrorists can get their hands on suitcase nukes, so can North Korea. I still believe the North Korean "nuke test" was a suitcase nuke...

Mogilevich To Be Released Today

Apparently, Mogilevich will be released today (July 16), as the Moscow city court overturned an extension of the arrest.


The Moscow Times: Business in Brief

10 July 2008


Moscow City Court on Wednesday overturned an extension of the arrests of Sergei Nekrasov and Semyon Mogilevich, also known as Sergei Shnaider, in connection with a tax investigation of Arbat Prestige, Interfax reported.

Alexander Sadukov, a lawyer for Nekrasov, said the court ordered a reinvestigation but chose to leave his client and Mogilevich in custody until July 16, the news agency reported. The earlier court ruling had extended their arrests until September 23.

I wonder...

Do you think this guy could have something on the Alexander Litvitnenko case?

Well you know that the Pollinum used to poison him only has a small number of uses - one of them of course being the trigger on these smaller nukes. - and considering that it only has a half life of something like 25-30 days I always thought that was just as much of a message as it was an assassination

Polonium 210 has a half life of a little more than 138 days. Meaning that after 138 days, the amount of Po-210 would be half of what it was to begin with. If Litvinenko was really poisoned deliberately and not by accident, it must have been a very strong message. But it doesn't mean that a suitcase nuke would have to be "used within 138 days". Example: If the amount of Po-210 from the start was twice the amount needed to trigger a nuke, it would still be usuable after 276 days. If the amount from the start was three times the amount needed, it would still be usuable after 414 days, etc. Deliberate poisoning or not, PO-210 was smuggled into the UK, and that's a fact. If the Po-210 was to be used as fuses/triggers for one or more suitcase nukes...Why? For terror? Or for blackmailing purposes? Maybe some day in the future, we'll know more about what really happened. At the moment, much about the case is classified.

I can't find anything in any media regarding Mogilevich's release today. Nothing. Only this article from July 9th and the other one posted above, stating that he'll be released July 16th (today). So I don't know whether he's been released or not...


ITAR-TASS: Moscow City Court cancelled ruling that extended arrest of businessmen Nekrasov and Shnaider

09.07.2008


However the court left them in custody till July 16 and ordered the district court to reconsider the ruling on their arrest, Nekrasov’s lawyer Alexander Sadukov told Itar-Tass.

Does anyone know if he's been released?

I live near the Seal Beach Ordinance Armory ( los angeles, but thats close enough to me), they store nukes there. Marcinko was able to easily break in there. I drive by there all the time to go surfing down at Bolsa Chica Beach and the place still looks pretty unsecured to me. I bet the locals largely don't know that there are nukes stored in there. and it looks pretty easy to just park a car on PCH and walk onto the facility from the wetlands and estuary behind it. and I mean just walk right in.

Finally, I was able to find something. Seems like Mogilevich will have to stay behind bars for now. At least until September 23...

Mogilevich

I wonder if there are any news on Mogilevich. Have you heard anything? Is he still in jail?


Rock The Truth: The New Mafia

November 24, 2008


There is no one on Earth more powerful than he, and, as per usual, he remains unknown, left out of all press and television reports on the subject. The CIA considers him a “grave threat” to global security and the “world’s most dangerous man” (Friedman).

[---]

He has penetrated every stock exchange in the world and controls much of the trading therein.

[---]

NATO has said that he is a “threat to the stability of Europe,” though his name remains little known. This mobster is militarily more powerful than many European countries. He has nuclear weapons from the former Warsaw Pact countries and is presently trading with various governments and providing them with nuclear technology. He has agents in the intelligence agencies of all European countries

Trading nuclear weapons and technology with various governments...

Speaking of trading with nuclear weapons... A new report sounds alarm on threat of WMD attack.

Mogilevich is to remain in custody until March 23


The Role of Russian Organized Crime in the Gas War of January 2009

The day after the Ukrainian-Russian gas agreement was signed, the Russian press reported that a Moscow court had ordered that Mogilevich and Nekrasov remain in detention until March 23 (www.newsru.com/russia/21jan2009/prodlen.html, January 21). Was the timing coincidental or was it linked to RUE’s debt to Gazprom?

I wonder if they're keeping him behind bars as long as possible, hoping that someone soon will dare to witness against him? Maybe some witnesses have disappeared?

Al Capone was convicted for income-tax evasion.

suitcase bomb yes i believe Russia had them.

but in russia you had three powers controlling russia and they did not trust each other,

The KBG
The GRU (military)
The Communists Party Leadership.

Active nuclear weapons were controlled by a team of all three.

Weapons in storage like suitcase nukes would never have been under the control of one.

Most likely the detonators would have been stored by one and the weapon without the detonators by another of the group.
The arming codes would have been controlled by the third party. The party leadership.

This is why i do not believe anyone could have taken a armed and ready to use suitcase nuke.
This was never been allowed in russia because of the power sharing/distrust system they have.

If someone got the weapon without the arming codes or the detonator at worst they could use it as a dirty bomb.
But not as a nuclear weapon. without the knowledge to build a weapon.
then they would no need it in the first place.

Regarding Mogilevich: Preliminary hearings are scheduled to begin today.
