Institute for the Study of Globalization.

Fridman is one of the key people in Russia's Alfa Group.

A 2007 Stratfor report that was leaked through Wikileaks reads: "Alfa Group is now involved in transporting drugs from Southeast Asia through Russia into Europe, laundering money of Colombian drug cartels, and bribing organs of justice in Russia..." [99]

"The Russian Alfa Group, ran by a number of Zionist oligarchs, has deep ties to Israel and the Mossad, the CFR and Russia's notorious Solntsevskaya mafia." [100]

"Fridman is believed to be at least partially responsible for many of the assassinations that plague Russian society, particularly regarding journalists."
