UK banker's link to arms plot
Financier is accused of
collaborating with Russian mafia to supply Serb fighters

Sunday December 9, 2001
A
director at one of Britain's most prestigious banking
consultancies has been named as a key player in a Russian mafia
plot to smuggle thousands of missiles and millions of rounds of
ammunition during the Bosnian war.
Mark
Garber is a director of the asset management company Fleming
Family and Partners. Until recently, he divided his time between
the firm's offices in Russia and its headquarters in Mayfair.
But
documents prepared by Italian investigators name Moscow-born
Garber as one of 10 people accused of collaborating with the
Russian and Ukrainian mafia, former KGB agents, politicians and a
shadowy syndicate to supply arms to Serb fighters during the
Balkan conflict.
Garber
is the subject of an international arrest warrant and now unable
to enter the EU for fear of being arrested and extradited to
Italy. The documents list his current status as 'fugitive',
although he continues to work in Fleming's Moscow office.
The
allegations relate to a massive shipment of arms including 30,000
AK47 Kalashnikov rifles, 400 guided missiles, 10,000 anti-tank
missiles and 32 million rounds of ammunition which were seized on
a ship, the Jadran Express, in Venice in 1994. Others implicated
in the deal include a Russian-born British citizen, a notorious
Belgian criminal and the founder of the Ukrainian secret police.
Five of those named are still at large.
Garber
allegedly became involved in the early Nineties, before he joined
Fleming, when he was one of four directors of the Moscow-based
Sintez oil company along with a Ukrainian, Dimitri Streshinskji,
and two other Russians, Leonid Lebedev and Alexander Zhukov.
At
the beginning of 1992, Streshinskji formed a new company, Global Technologies International Inc, which was set up to trade in arms
that Ukraine had inherited from the Soviet Army. Customers of
Global Technologies were supposedly foreign governments but it
was discovered that Streshinskji had been using forged
certificates to smuggle arms to Bosnia despite a strict embargo.
Following
the seizure of the arms on the Jadran Express, investigators discovered a key payment for the weapons had been made through
the accounts of two Jersey-registered companies, Trade Concepts
Ltd and Shellenford Ltd, both of which had been set up by Sintez.
The directors of these were listed as Dimitri Streshinskji and
Leonid Lebedev. In 1999 Streshinskji was arrested in Germany, in
connection with the Jadran Express seizure and extradited to
Italy. He confessed his involvement but named Garber and Zhukov as co-conspirators, claiming the pair had given permission for
the accounts of Sintez's Jersey companies to be used for the arms
transactions. Streshinskji also claimed the weapons were traded
not for profit but in exchange for concessions allowing Sintez to
operate in the Ukraine, thus further implicating Zhukov and
Garber.
Zhukov
was arrested this year while travelling to Sardinia. He spent six
months in an Italian prison. Although Zhukov was released on bail
last month, he is forbidden to leave Turin.
Last
week he spoke exclusively to The Observer about the charges
against him. 'I am completely innocent of any involvement in this
business,' Zhukov said. He insists he had little to do with
Sintez's other directors after moving to London. Despite this, he
has endured harsh treatment.
'They
said I was a dangerous criminal and put me in solitary
confinement. It was terrible.'
Last
month Italian prosecutors travelled to Jersey, where
representatives of the companies provided proof that Zhukov had
no power to enable the company accounts to be used. However, the
prosecutors insist that, along with Garber and Lebedev, Zhukov
was a 'business partner' in the arms smuggling.
Garber
was not available for comment but a spokesperson said he denied
any involvement in arms smuggling. Fleming Family and Partners
did not respond to questions. Lebedev was not available for
comment. |
