GANGSTERS AT WAR: RUSSIA AND ORGANIZED CRIME
Since 2012, Russia has strategically used criminal networks to evade sanctions, conduct intelligence, and destabilize the West

Russia’s transition from a “conscription state” to a full “mobilization state”, after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, has intensified the involvement of criminal groups in operations tied to sanctions-busting, cyber warfare, and intelligence. Organized crime networks provide Russia with access to restricted goods, such as advanced electronics for its military, and facilitate money laundering and illegal financial flows. Notably, Russian intelligence services have relied on criminal syndicates to supplement their espionage activities, including sabotage, cyberattacks, and assassinations.
The report also highlights Russia’s weaponization of migration, using smuggling networks to create political instability across Europe. Meanwhile, Putin’s regime has blurred the lines between state and criminal actors, using them as tools to evade international sanctions and expand Russian influence globally.

Anyone miserable in their jobs will take some solace from Careless People, a blistering new memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams, former global public policy director at Facebook (since rebranded as Meta). This tale of her years at the company, from her idealistic pitch for an international role in 2011 to her firing in 2017, charts a descent into the swamp of Silicon Valley’s narcissistic greed and frigid amorality, offering personal indictments of several executives to whom she answered, including Joel Kaplan, Sheryl Sandberg, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
In the book, Wynn-Williams details how Facebook’s managerial disputes and failures in this period, when it was rapidly expanding around the globe, had dire and fatal effects. Able to describe even her near-death by shark attack in her New Zealand childhood with frighteningly sober clarity, the former diplomat covers political scandals and workplace nightmares with zero hyperbole — only regret for continuing to believe in Facebook’s potential as signs of catastrophe grew impossible to ignore.
Meta has sought to limit the impact of Careless People, winning an emergency ruling from a U.S. arbitrator to prevent Wynn-Williams from distributing or promoting the book, which was kept a closely guarded secret until shortly before its release this month. In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, the company dismissed it as “a mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” claiming that Wynn-Williams was “fired for poor performance and toxic behavior,” and that “an investigation at the time determined she made misleading and unfounded allegations of harassment.” Former Meta employees have also disputed details of the book. A representative for Sandberg, who is no longer with the company, declined to comment about how she is depicted in Careless People. Macmillan Publishers and its imprint Flatiron Books are standing behind the tell-all, which is now the New York Times number one bestseller.
Jeffrey Edward Epstein (/ˈɛpstiːn/ ⓘ EP-steen;[3] January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and child sex offender.
