About 80% of trading in the metro grandmothers working for organized crime groups, said the Chairman of the Commission of Public chamber of Russia on security Anton Tsvetkov. It quotes the Agency “Moscow”.
“We are actively fighting the illegal trade at the stations and the disclosure of the activities of ethnic criminal groups that produce food and arrange for their sale at subway stations. Different stations have different number of outlets. As a rule, their number increases with the increase in passenger traffic. Traffickers are often members of ethnic groups. We have carefully studied their activities. About 80% of the grandmothers trading at the underground food, working for organized crime groups. Here the grandmother sells dill at metro Vykhino, receives a daily average of 12 000 RUB. Can you imagine what it’s income. Of course, not all the money goes to grandma”, he said.
