Legendary criminals. The most dangerous criminals in the world. Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera. Mexico

All the world's intelligence agencies are hunting for them. A huge reward is promised for any information about each of these people that can establish their whereabouts. And despite this, these most dangerous criminals in the world remain elusive for law enforcement agencies. Who are they, and why are they wanted? The article contains the names of the most wanted people.

This man has already become a real legend of the underworld. And the people of Mexico even use his name as a synonym for the term “cruel.” Guzman is a Mexican drug lord who created the largest drug cartel on the planet, Sinaloa.

The police had already managed to detain him several times and even sentenced him to a long term of imprisonment, but “Shorty” each time managed to escape even from the most secure prison in the country.

Despite the fact that today Joaquin is wanted, he continues to earn huge amounts of money for trafficking in various narcotic substances. A reward of 5 million US dollars has been promised to anyone who helps find and apprehend the criminal. At the moment, this amount is the maximum reward that American law enforcement has ever placed on the head of a criminal.

This man became the leader of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda after the liquidation of its former leader Osama bin Laden. Ayman is a surgeon by training. In his homeland, Egypt, he has long been sentenced to capital punishment. He is also wanted by Interpol officers for organizing and carrying out more than 10 terrible terrorist attacks around the world.

Today, David heads one of the universal criminal groups in the world, D-Company. It is called universal because it has been seen in different areas of criminal activity: trafficking in drugs, weapons, contract killings and other crimes. His name is associated with the founding of al-Qaeda and another criminal structure, Lashkar-e-Taiba.

In the past, he is an ordinary Russian businessman who later became involved in money laundering. However, today, Mogilevich is better known as the organizer of numerous brothels and illegal nightclubs in Russia and Hungary. In addition, his name is associated with one of the factories that produces weapons.

There are speculations that, among other things, Mogilevich is even involved in the trade in nuclear weapons. It is believed that he is the true owner of such enterprises as Eural Trans Gas or RosUkrEnergo. He had already been arrested once on suspicion of failure to pay a large amount of taxes. This happened in 2008. However, very soon all charges against him were dropped, and Mogilevich himself was released.

This person is considered a responsible person for Al-Qaeda, which operates in the Arabian Peninsula. Nasser is considered the best recruiter this terrorist organization has ever had. He has thousands of new shots to his name.

In 2006, Yemeni law enforcement officers already detained this criminal, but for unknown reasons, they were unable to collect the required amount of evidence linking this man to a series of crimes. Therefore he was released. According to some reports, Nasser is in Yemen.

Today he is one of the most famous criminals on the Sicilian Peninsula. Matteo's nickname is "Diabolic", which means "devilish". Denaro's parents also belonged to the criminal world. Diabolik's father headed a mafia clan in Trapani.

Matteo gained his fame after he got rid of his main competitor Vincenzo Millazo with his own hands. Moreover, he also killed his girlfriend, who was pregnant at that time.

After the death of his father, Denaro took over the family criminal business. And after Bernardo Provenzano was arrested, Matteo became the main Italian mafioso.

In the criminal world, this man is better known as Taiwanchik. He has always been a passionate fan of football and even sponsored some sports and cultural figures. For his philanthropic activities in France, he was even awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor. In addition, Taiwanchik became famous for cheating at cards, rigging the results of the figure skating championship, and trafficking in drugs and weapons. Today he is perhaps the most wanted criminal in Germany and America.

In the spring of 1994, a plane carrying the current president of Rwanda crashes. After his death, a war begins in the country between two opposing tribes, the Hutu and the Tutsi. The country's well-known media tycoon Kabuga from television screens and the pages of all printed publications in Rwanda calls on Hutu representatives to mercilessly kill everyone who they consider to be an enemy.

During numerous ethnic cleansings, more than 800 thousand people, who were in one way or another related to Tutsi, died. They did not spare even those who simply looked sympathetically towards the poor tribe. The world community simply could not ignore such arbitrariness. A reward of $5 million was offered for the capture of the media tycoon. However, so far there has not been a daredevil who could go against this murderer.

This man is known as the founder and leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, a criminal organization that operates in Uganda. In the past, Kony was an ordinary priest who in 1987 led an uprising, after which he declared himself a messenger of God. Until now, his gang has been attacking Ugandan villages, where they commit murder, violence and theft. Moreover, all members of the group justify their actions by God’s will.

This man is also known as the head of the self-proclaimed Ichkeria and one of the leaders of Chechen terrorists. Many high-profile terrorist attacks are associated with his name, including explosions in the Moscow metro, Domodedovo, etc. There is information that he is currently in Turkey.

Its liquidation has already been announced at least 10 times, and each time this information turns out to be false. For the capture of this criminal, the American and Russian authorities are promising a reward of 5 million US dollars.

Some people are capable of keeping an entire society in fear. Unfortunately, such villains are not always caught, because they are cunning and inventive. We present the ranking of the most dangerous criminal figures who are still at large. Or at least they stayed there for a long time.

Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman

This man was caught quite recently, in 2016. Joaquin was the main drug lord of Mexico and controlled the largest cartels. In the United States they were willing to pay $5 million for his capture. Guzman has escaped from prison twice already, and who knows whether the brutal criminal will remain in the hands of the law this time.

Felicien Kabuga

People's glory comes not only to honored artists, great workers and brave heroes. It is also received by famous criminals who go down in history for a long time with their illegal activities.

This time we have compiled a list of the most popular criminals in the world - from the legendary American gangster Al Capone to the ruthless maniac killer Andrei Chikatilo.

Al Capone

Photo: Rex/Fotodom.ru One of the most important gangsters of the 20th century, who carried out active criminal activities during Prohibition and the Great Depression in the USA.

From his earliest years, Alfonso Gabriel Capone was a disobedient and aggressive guy. In the sixth grade, he attacked his teacher during class, after which he left school and soon began to engage in criminal activities.

By the age of 18, Capone was suspected of two murders and many less serious crimes, which forced him to leave New York and move to Chicago. There his rapid criminal career began in the empire of the influential gangster of those times, Johnny Torrio.

Many believe that Al Capone came up with a system of “money laundering” when illegally earned money from smuggled alcohol needed to be legitimized. To do this, the gangster opened a large network of laundries, where Americans came and gave them their clothes to wash.

For a long time, American law enforcement agencies could not catch Al Capone, because all his crimes were very difficult to solve. This is how the legendary case of non-payment of income taxes appeared. He received 11 years in prison in the 1930s, but served only seven of them. After his release, Capone was already mortally ill with syphilis, which almost completely destroyed his body.

Photo: Rex/Fotodom.ru Bin Laden created the Islamic terrorist organization Al Qaeda, which at one time took responsibility for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, the bombings of US embassies in Africa in 1998, as well as other bloody events . He is the 52nd son of multimillionaire Mohammed bin Laden, who died in a plane crash in 1968.

The future terrorist graduated from an elite school and also studied at King Abdulaziz University at the Faculty of Economics and Management. Already in 1979, Bin Laden fought on the side of the Mujahideen against the Soviet army in Afghanistan. Then he actively helped the Afghan resistance, supplying weapons, money and new fighters.

Some time after the war in Afghanistan ended, the terrorist declared America enemy number one, and called the murder of the American people and its allies the duty and responsibility of every Muslim.

Subsequently, the US government declared Bin Laden the main enemy of the United States and began an active hunt for his head.

The fact that the terrorist died began to be said back in 2001 after the bombings in Afghanistan, but this information was soon refuted. Then in 2006, the French media ran the news that Bin Laden had died of typhoid fever, but this also turned out to be untrue. In 2007, the Prime Minister of Pakistan said that Bin Laden had been killed, but this also turned out not to be the case.

American special forces managed to truly eliminate the terrorist on May 2, 2011. The operation was called "Neptune Spear" and was authorized by former US President Barack Obama.

Photo: Rex/Fotodom.ru Charles Manson is a popular American criminal who in the 60s created a sect called “The Family,” whose members committed several terrible crimes. The most notorious of which is the murder of the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski, actress Sharon Tate.

Manson had a difficult childhood. When he was six years old, his mother went to prison for attempting to rob a gas station, and the boy didn’t even know his father. He did extremely poorly at school, so at the age of 12 he was sent to a correctional institution, where he was subjected to violence from older students.

At the age of twenty, Manson managed to steal more than one car, for which he received his first sentence. After three years of imprisonment, he was released, becoming a pimp. Then he ended up in prison again, and by the age of 32, he had spent 17 of them in captivity.

Soon Manson met Mary Brunner, who became the first adherent of the “Family” sect, and subsequently they began to live in one common commune along with 18 other women.

During the heyday of hippie culture, Manson became a real guru, and people from all over the world were drawn to him. Those who joined the “Family” received a new name from him and became “brothers” and “sisters”.

The most famous place of residence of the “Family” was the Spahn Ranch, where members of the commune sang songs, made love together, worshiped the devil, took drugs and slaughtered animals. From harmless pleasures, the activities of the “Family” began to take on more serious proportions.

In 1969, Manson killed drug dealer Bernard Crowe, then that same year, one of the members of the Family, Bobby Beausoleil, stabbed to death a guy named Gary Hinman, who sold him low-quality mescaline. In August of the same year, members of the “Family” went to the house where musician Terry Melcher lived. Manson ordered them to kill everyone there and go back. The next day, the news talked about a terrible mass murder, the victims of which were an 18-year-old guy, a famous stylist, an heir to wealthy parents, a friend of director Roman Polanski and his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate.

In 1971, Charles Manson went to prison for life, becoming an iconic character in American history. Popular culture began to produce stories dedicated to the spiritualized criminal, and many people began to write letters to Manson, talking about their difficult life.

The criminal wanted to leave prison early several times, but he was always refused. In November 2017, he died due to illness.

Bonnie and Clyde

Photo: Rex/Fotodom.ru This is a story about a gang of two American lovers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who robbed everything in their path and often murdered police officers in the 30s of the last century.

Clyde Barrow was the fifth child in the family and did not have outstanding abilities. However, he was good at robbing and going to prison. Before meeting Bonnie, he had already served five prison terms, which is a lot for a young guy.

Before she met Clyde, Bonnie Parker was an excellent student at school, a waitress in a cafe, and even an exemplary wife. However, later she changed dramatically and became an inveterate criminal.

But Bonnie and Clyde were not alone. Together with them, their comrades were engaged in robbery, among whom were Bonnie's friend Raymond Hamilton, 17-year-old boy William Jones, Clyde's brother Ivan Barrow and his wife Blanche.

By the way, Bonnie and Clyde were fond of photography and often posed in front of cars in dashing poses. It is likely that it was these photographs that caused the spread of exaggerated rumors about the achievements of the lovers.

In 1934, the couple was ambushed by two Louisiana officers and four Texas Rangers. As a result of the raid, approximately 167 bullets were fired into their Ford V8, and more than 110 of them hit the criminals. It is noteworthy that about a dozen more of them were found in Bonny.

Photo: Rex/Fotodom.ru It was no coincidence that the legendary American criminal, bank robber and public enemy number one according to the FBI classification was included in the list of the most popular criminals in history.

During this time, he took out significant amounts of money from more than 20 banks and four police departments. In addition, Dillinger managed to escape from prison twice.

The same year as Bonnie and Clyde, police traced Dillinger through his prostitute friend Anna Sage. After the bandit left the theater where he was enjoying the art of cinema, FBI agents ordered the man to surrender and pointed a gun at him. Dillinger was also no slouch and decided to shoot at one of the agents, but three bullets quickly hit the famous robber, one of them becoming fatal.

By the way, according to some reports, FBI employees did not shout anything to Dillinger and did not warn about their intentions. They just opened fire on him.

About the adventures of the greatest robber of all time, you can watch a film with Johnny Depp in the title role, which is called “Johnny D.”

The main drug lord of the 20th century was so rich that in 1987 he was the first criminal to be included in the Forbes list of “100 international billionaires”. Then his fortune was estimated at three billion dollars. Escobar was the leader of the famous Medellin cartel, whose main activity was the distribution of cocaine. About 15 tons of white powder were supplied to America every day.

Pablo had so much money that he lost about two billion a year due to mice chewing it off or mold corroding it. After all, some cash was stored in abandoned warehouses and farms.

Escobar is also known for burning nearly two million dollars to keep his daughter warm while the two of them were hiding in the mountains from police pursuit.

And in 1991, the drug lord, by agreement with the Colombian government, built his own prison, where there was a football field and guards chosen by him. Law enforcement officers could not approach her closer than five kilometers.

Escobar was shot and killed in December 1993 while once again on the run from justice.

Chechen terrorist Doku Umarov created his own virtual state “Caucasian Emirate”, which became a terrorist organization banned in Russia. He was also the president of the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

That same year, American authorities offered a reward of five million dollars for information about his whereabouts.

The death of a terrorist has been reported more than once, and the first such message appeared back in 2000. However, the official announcement of Umarov's death was made in 2014. Then the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a photograph of the terrorist’s corpse online.

Andrey Chikatilo

Andrei Chikatilo operated in the Rostov region from 1978 to 1990, and during this time he committed 53 proven murders. He himself claimed that there were more deaths.

Among his victims were 21 boys from 7 to 16 years old, 14 girls from 9 to 17 years old, and 18 girls and women. At first he gained their trust, for example, at bus stops, and then took them into the forest and killed them. He cut off his victims' genitals, tongues, gouged out their eyes and did other horrors to them. Chikatilo seemed like a decent person, and it was difficult for people to detect evil intentions in him.

Chikatilo's last victim was 22-year-old prostitute Svetlana Korostik. When he was leaving the forest, a policeman approached him and asked for documents, surprised that Chikatilo was wearing a suit and tie. Then the law enforcement officer only remembered the man’s last name, because the policeman had no reason to detain him.

When the girl’s body was found a few days later, law enforcement agencies already knew who to knock on the door. Chikatilo was arrested and then sentenced to death.

According to journalist and writer Alexander Masalov, when the word “execution” was said in the courtroom, the people present applauded.

Semyon Mogilevich, or simply Seva, is known for being sought in four different countries and considered one of America's most wanted criminals. First of all, he was involved in large-scale economic fraud involving American and Canadian companies. They say about Mogilevich that he even sold depleted uranium to Osama Bin Laden.

In 2013, he was named one of Foreign Policy's 500 most powerful people in the world, and in December 2015, Mogilevich was removed from the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list because there is no extradition agreement between the United States and Russia. But in Russia no one considers Mogilevich a criminal.

The vast majority of people are fond of secrets, intrigue, riddles, including detective stories. Reading a detective story or intensely watching the development of the action on the screen, we involuntarily catch ourselves thinking that we know for sure that the criminal will be captured and justice will prevail. Maybe detective stories are a kind of fairy tales for adults. It’s so nice to know that good always triumphs over evil. All good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished. We all completely agree with Gleb Zheglov from the cult series “The meeting place cannot be changed”: “A thief should be in prison.” And also a robber, murderer, rapist and, of course, a terrorist.

Unfortunately, in life everything is not so smooth. Very often, criminals walk free or are wanted for many years. For example, we all know the sad example of Osama Bin Laden. The highest reward in the world was awarded for his capture - $25 million. He was known throughout the world as the number one terrorist. The leader of an Islamic terrorist organization, who initiated terrible terrorist attacks that claimed many hundreds of lives, fortunately, is no longer afraid of us. On May 2, 2011, he was killed in Pakistan by American special forces soldiers. But other haters of humanity took his place. The list of wanted criminals is constantly growing: in it you can find international terrorists, rapists and pedophiles, drug dealers and fraudsters... They are wanted by Interpol, the FBI, the CIA, the FSB and all so that people can live in peace. The most famous criminals in the world:

An ordinary school teacher took Bin Laden's place. He loved his students, but he loved them too much. The FBI accuses him of producing, storing and distributing child pornography. Eric knew computer literacy quite well, skillfully covered his tracks, but one day he made a mistake: he did not erase a film of his own making from an ordinary school video camera.

For a long time he tried to hide, but last year he was arrested in Nicaragua. By the way, during his first arrest, he managed to escape from custody. We hope that law enforcement officers, taught by bitter experience, will be more attentive and the criminal will suffer a well-deserved punishment. All over the world, calling for war and inciting ethnic hatred is considered a terrible crime, for which serious punishment is provided. It happens that a criminal will not personally kill anyone, but because of his illegal actions, the blood of thousands of innocent people will be shed.

This oligarch from Rwanda incited a real genocide in his country. In 1994, a terrible tragedy occurred in Rwanda: their president died in a plane crash. After which Kabuga addressed the population of the country with an appeal: the Hutu tribe must completely destroy the Tutsi tribe, who are their original enemies. Kabuga unfoundedly accused representatives of the Tutsi tribe of conspiracy and physical destruction of the country's leader. After which a bloody civil war swept across the country. More than 100,000 people found their death there; many were maimed, raped, robbed, and left homeless. Orphans roamed the country, subjected to violence and humiliation...

The UN and the international tribunal demanded that the instigators of this war be brought to trial; Kabuga was one of the first to appear before the court. The FSB still promises 5 million dollars just for information about the whereabouts of this criminal. But the Rwandan government believes that a person with such a condition cannot be convicted, which is why the criminal is at large.

The doctor and Muslim theologian was second only to Bin Laden in the world-famous al-Qaeda organization. After the death of the leader, he took his place. Even in his youth, in his native Egypt, Ayman founded the extremist organization Islamic Jihad. He was suspected for a long time, but could not prove his involvement in the assassination of the country's President Anwar Sadat. After which Ayman left the country, first joined the Afghan Mujahideen, and then joined Al-Qaeda and gradually became one of its leaders. In Egypt, he was sentenced to death in absentia, and the FSB promised $25 million for his head. but so far no success.

This man is the most famous drug trafficker in the world. According to Forbes magazine, he is one of the richest people in the world. Also, according to this magazine, he is the most wanted criminal in the world.

Loera, known in Mexico as “Shorty,” has long since become a billionaire. He heads the world's largest drug cartel, Sinaloa. Supplies Colombian cocaine to the United States, produces methamphetamine, marijuana and pure heroin. The FBI is ready to pay for the capture of Loera 5 million dollars, and the Mexican government 30 million pesos. But, probably, the criminal pays even more to his guards and for now one can only dream of his capture.

According to some reports, it is believed that this criminal is hiding in Pakistan, although the Pakistani authorities strongly deny this. Interpol has been looking for Cascar for a good dozen years, but so far to no avail.

His other name is Sergei Schneider, a Russian citizen, known to the widest public in connection with the high-profile Arbat Prestige case. In 2008, Mogilevich and Vladimir Nekrasov, co-owners of the Arbat Prestige chain of expensive perfume stores and factories, were detained in the Russian capital and accused of tax evasion in the amount of almost 50 million rubles. Subsequently, both defendants were released on a large cash bail, and then a year later the case against them was dropped. In 2013, the FBI charged Mogilevich in absentia with fraud and money laundering, but so far the criminal is at large and where exactly he is hiding, the authorities do not know.

Tokhtakhunov, a native of sultry Uzbekistan, known under the nickname Taiwanchik, is accused of drug trafficking and weapons smuggling in the United States. In addition, he organized a gang to steal and sell expensive cars.

In 2003, in Italy, the police were able to arrest the criminal. The US tried to extradite him. But the FBI request was rejected, and Tokhtakhunov was released, where he remains to this day.

The leader of the militants of the North Caucasus, the third Russian to receive the dubious honor of being included in the list of the world's most wanted criminals... He is suspected of committing the largest terrorist attacks on Russian territory, namely the explosion of the Nevsky Express train, explosions in the Moscow metro and at the airport Domodedovo. The US authorities offered a reward for his capture - 5 million dollars Not long ago information appeared about his death, but many doubt it.

It is surprising that with such large rewards awarded by the governments of different countries, criminals are still free and doing their dirty work. Maybe it’s worth thinking about the fact that catching a criminal is not only a matter for the authorities and law enforcement agencies, but absolutely all people should be vitally interested in this

Not all people live correctly, trying to follow an honest path. Sometimes they go into completely different jungles, the wilds of the criminal world.

This, unfortunately, happens more often than we would like. And therefore, rampant crime reigns all over the world, it’s just that in some places it is more pronounced, in others less pronounced, but there is no escape from it.

Everyone's reasons for breaking the law are fundamentally different. But none of them can justify what people can sometimes do.

And we are not talking about small, relatively harmless thieves and swindlers. We are talking about international criminals whose crimes sometimes cause awe, and sometimes simply disgust and nothing more. This is a negative example of how one should live, but, alas, there are surprisingly many such examples lately.

But a few stand out in particular. So let's take a look at what the most dangerous and wanted criminals in the world are, although, frankly speaking, it is too great an honor to pay so much attention to such people. We shouldn't make bad people too famous, and then perhaps the world will become a little better and relatively safer.

10. Doku Umarov

Location: Chechnya

He has been an international terrorist since 2010, the leader of the terrorist movement of Islamic separatists. He stated that a number of the largest terrorist attacks in Russia, such as explosions in the Moscow metro and so on, were carried out on his direct order.

Since 2000, there have been regular reports of his death, but more or less reliable information that he was eliminated was received only in 2014 - although many doubt it.

9. Joseph Kony

Location: Uganda

The leader of the so-called Lord's Resistance Army, who actively sought to establish a theocratic state in Uganda, which would be based entirely on the Bible and its commandments. He rebelled against the government back in 1987. Had 88 wives. He is currently actively hiding from justice, although he has long been recognized as a war criminal and there is a valid warrant for his arrest - so far it has not been possible to find him.

8. Felicien Kabuga

Location: Rwanda

This man did not kill anyone directly, but indirectly he became the culprit of the most terrible genocide. After the death of the country's president in 1994, he announced that it was necessary to deal with the Tutsis, who were the true culprits of the president's death. A real wave of murders, rapes and robberies swept across the country. In total, more than one hundred thousand people died. But the country's government has nevertheless refused to arrest him, although other countries are looking for clues that would allow this to be done.

7. Alimzhan Tursunovich Tokhtakhunov

Location: Russia

One of the largest authorities in all of Russia. He was the owner of the largest Russian casinos, which, however, were then closed. In 2002, he first became scandalous due to the situation with gold medals at the Olympics, after which he was accused of fraud. But this is far from the end of the matter. His other activities, however, were not given too much publicity, but he is still listed on the Interpol detective lists to this day.

6. Matteo Messina Denaro

Location: Italy

The Sicilian mafia is not only an image that is glorified in numerous feature films, it really exists, which is once again confirmed by this person. He became one of the new leaders of Cosa Nostra, and committed his first murder at the age of 18. It is believed that he personally killed at least fifty people alone. But since 1993, he has been quite successfully hiding from the police and has not yet been caught.

5. Nasir al-Wuhaishi

Location: Yemen

The leader of one of the al-Qaeda affiliates is a big enough title to be on such a list. Especially if the branch is Yemeni. It was believed that he used to be the secretary of Osama bin Laden, and after his death he initially headed the African division of the terrorist group. There is not much information about this person, but his influence is enough that he is actively sought by intelligence agencies around the world.

4. Semyon Yudkovich Mogilevich

Location: Russia, Hungary, Israel

A true citizen of the world - he has three citizenships, but still he was born in Kyiv. Wanted since 1995. He is one of the largest leaders of the Jewish mafia in the world, as well as the leader of the Solntsevsky group. At the moment, he is not officially wanted because there is nothing to catch him, but for information leading to his capture, an impressive reward of one hundred thousand dollars from the FBI is promised - he is so dangerous.

3. Daoud Ibrahim

Location: India

Leader of the D-Company crime syndicate in Mumbai. It is generally accepted that he had very close ties to Osama bin Laden. After the Mumbai bombing in 1993, he officially became the most wanted man in the entire country, and then this “fame” became international. According to the intelligence services, he currently lives in the United Arab Emirates, but this has yet to be proven or disproved.

2. Ayman al-Zawahiri

Location: Egypt

Second on our list is the leader of al-Qaeda, this time even larger and more influential. He runs its Egyptian division; he took this position immediately after the killing of Osama bin Laden. But in general, he has been wanted since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, after which he was called the second man in all of Al-Qaeda - and this is only confirmed with the passage of time. But it is believed that his influence is still less than that of bin Laden.

1. Joaquin Guzman Loera

Location: Mexico

Perhaps the best way to be on the first line of such a rating is to become a world-famous drug lord. A major figure in the world of drug mafia, he is wanted for a reward of five million dollars, which is one of the largest rewards that have ever existed for the capture of criminals. However, now this information is a little irrelevant - he was nevertheless detained in February 2014. But does this mean that his influence has fallen and that he will definitely be condemned? Not yet known.
