Citizens and basketball fans beware! Despite the continuing efforts of police, nothing has changed in recent days, which means criminals are at large all over Europe committing all kinds of mayhem. During period of just 10 weeks, a mindboggling total of 50 arrest warrants were issued and no one is convicted yet. At least, according to police sources, eight known gangs are not expected to make any other moves on the big scene for the foreseeable future, but that doesn’t mean that the crime rate will be going down. You can expect the exact opposite to happen as five new names were added to the most-wanted list this week.

Nikita Kurbanov: A Russian enforcer who has old ties with the Russian army. He is an under-the-radar guy, often underestimated by opponents – at their own risk. He seems to be using this perception to his advantage. Reports from Malaga, Spain, indicate that he operated unnoticed and he proved to be a killer by scoring 10 points in the last quarter of CSKA Moscow‘s road win against Unicaja Malaga. That finally prompted the police to mark down his name for future reference.

Bogdan Bodganovic:
A brutal crook from Serbia who is nicknamed “Leader of Horde”. Since his teenage years, he was under surveillance by local and international authorities, but this has not ever stopped him from doing damage. His latest victim was Khimki Moscow Region. Bogdanovic delivered the final blow to the Russian with a tip-in, five seconds before the end of the game, leading Fenerbahce Istanbul to the win. This is not the last time he will be making headlines.

Anthony Randolph: He is a big-time gangster who was almost forgotten after a long period of silence. As it turned out, the only thing holding him down was his personal health issues. Reports from Russia confirm that he is back to his old ways. The final count was 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals in a win by Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar against FC Barcelona Lassa. The Russians won this territorial war and Randolph is expected to be back for more.

Fabien Causeur:
Don’t let the charm of this French racketeer fool you! He was raised in the underworld, keeping his base near the Spanish-French borders, and now he is the captain of the Vitoria gang. He proved that this is not a coincidence by scoring 20 points and registering a 31 performance index rating in the 92-70 win of Laboral Kutxa Vitoria Gasteiz over Cedevita Zagreb. The authorities had been hoping that the Vitoria gang was a thing of the past, but they returned with a vengeance.

Marko Guduric: Belgrade is always a hive of activity and new perpetrators are emerging on a daily basis. There, the pipeline of criminally talented crooks never stops. So it’s not a surprise that Guduric showed up in the clutch – with 9 points in the last decisive quarter – and made his first big hit, registering 16 points as Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade made a big comeback and seized the win and the Top 16 ticket from FC Bayern Munich. The Serbian hooligan was already known to INTERPOL but now he is starting to create a wider reputation.
