러시아 검찰총장은, 조직 범죄가 러시아 국가 안보에 위협이 되고 있다고 경고했습니다.
블라디미르 유스티노프 검찰총장은 15일 모스크바에서 열린 법 집행 기관장 회의에서 조직 범죄단이 전국의 모든 대도시들에 퍼져있고, 심지어는 법 집행 기관들에도 침투해있다고 지적하면서 이같이 경고했습니다.
그는, 조직 범죄단들이 세관 검문소들을 마치 “자기 집같이 느끼고있을” 정도로 세관 체제에 요새를 구축하기에 이르렀다고 지적했습니다. 앞서 지난 주 블라디미르 푸틴 러시아 대통령은 연례 국정 연설에서 보다 강력한 부패 근절 노력을 촉구했습니다.

Russia's chief prosecutor says organized crime is becoming a threat to national security, because criminal gangs have spread to all major cities and have even penetrated law enforcement bodies.
Russian Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov says organized crime groups have become so entrenched in the customs system that they "feel at home" at customs checkpoints.
Ustinov was speaking today (Monday) to representatives of law enforcement agencies in Moscow. He criticized their performance in the fight against organized crime, saying they had yet to achieve concrete results.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called for stronger anti-corruption efforts in his annual state of the nation address last week. Since then, the Kremlin has ordered the dismissal of senior officials from several government agencies after they were suspected of corruption by investigators.
