The most famous Russian gangster in New York, Boris Nayfeld, known by the nickname Biba, wants to return to his homeland. Mafiosi has repeatedly faced criminal charges in the United States, including the sale of heroin, tax fraud and much more.

He is now 70 years old, he recently got out of prison for the third time, divorced his wife and was left without money. He has little chance of finding a job in the US, especially given his knowledge and experience, so the man got tired of his homeland, which he cannot leave, because after his release from prison his conditional sentence was not over, and leaving the USA was prohibited for him, writes NBC.

“I can't do anything. Give me a chance to start a new life,” he told reporters.

Nielfeld still looks as intimidating as he did decades ago, with a shaved head, piercing eyes, tattoos and a large frame. He assumes that his skills in his homeland will pay him more dividends than in the United States.

But for the time being, he will not be allowed to leave, since a three-year suspended sentence still exists, to which Naifeld was sentenced along with two years of imprisonment for his participation in the murder resulting from an attempt at extortion.

“I lost everything. I lost my job, I lost time while I was in prison. I lost my wife. This is enough to punish me,” said Nielfeld.

Living an honest life without breaking laws is a new experience for Nayfeld. He first came to the United States in the late 1970s from Gomel, Belarus, with a wave of Jewish emigrants from the former Soviet Union who said they were fleeing religious persecution. By his own admission, Nayfeld began to engage in criminal activities immediately after arriving in the United States.

The story of his life and work in the United States told the publication with the BBC.

Nayfeld, known by the nickname Biba, is the last boss of the old Russian mafia, operating in the cities of the US East Coast in the last decades of the twentieth century, who has not died yet, has not broken with his former life or has not retired.

Biba was pushed by old habits and lack of money to the extortion and murder. Before he was arrested in January 2016, he lived on a retirement pension in the amount of 750 dollars per month, although several decades before that he could afford to live on a big scale.

From painters to mafia bosses

In his native Gomel, Biba was a painter. Arriving in America in 1979, he became a prominent member of the brigade of the first “godfather” of Brighton Beach, former Leningrader Yevsey Agron.

With the light hand of the late American journalist Robert Friedman, Biba is suspected of involvement in the murder of Agron, which he categorically denies and says that “Evsei was a man with a capital M for me.”

Like many Soviet emigrants of that time, Biba was involved in frauds with excise taxes on gasoline and in this connection almost became a victim of competition, the fate of the former Kiev resident Vladimir Reznikov, known in narrow circles as Vadik Resnik, as an instrument.

Reznikov, who at that time was the most effective killer of the Russian mafia and, in particular, shot the “godfather” Yevsey Agron, shot a Brooklyn gasoline company in 1986 Platinum, wounding Bib in the finger and killing his friend Ilya Zeltser (Zel). In honor of him, Biba named his son, born soon after this, Ilya.

Mountains of heroin

At the start of 1990, Biba was arrested for his leadership role in a heroin transport operation from Southeast Asia to the USA.

The drug was delivered from Bangkok to Warsaw in the cathode tubes of televisions. The emigrants who had come for him from New York poured him into plastic bags with zippers, put them in a hotel under the mattress, tossing and turning in his sleep, tamped him, and in the morning they attached themselves to his stomach and carried him to America.

“I took a kilo with delivery for 25-27 thousand dollars, and sold it for 115 thousand,” admitted Biba.

Having been arrested for heroin, Nayfeld began to cooperate with the investigation, but not immediately. According to him, he “held out for 13 months, but then it dawned on him that the 34 years that prosecutors were promising him was too much.”

According to Biba, he agreed to testify only on Elson.

“I went for Monet,” he honestly admitted, adding that “I didn’t give them anything for the others.”

Deals with the investigation

The second time, Biba sat down in 2008, along with the famous Dozortsev brothers in New York and his old acquaintance, who was born in Katowice and the Russian-speaking Pole Marian Richard Kozina who lived at the time in London, aka Jerzy (Jerry) Bank, also Ricardo Fanchini, he's Richard Rothmann. Russian bandits in America called him Richard, Polyak or Gypsy.

The prisoners were charged with a whole bunch of charges - from drug smuggling to cigarette smuggling. Biba helped himself here too by agreeing to cooperate, and he cooperated so well that prosecutors asked Brooklyn federal judge Charles Sifton to show him maximum leniency. Sifton, however, gave Beebe five years in prison.

For the third time, Nayfeld was arrested at the beginning of 2016 of the year in the case of a contract killing, in which his peer, a former resident of Kiev, Boris Kotlyarsky, who was acting as an intermediary, was also arrested.

Then the New York multimillionaire Anatoly Potik added to the accused, who allegedly ordered Biba to kill his son-in-law, businessman Oleg Mitnick, who had long been in a divorce proceedings with Potik’s daughter. Later it became known about the extortion preceding the murder.

Biba and here agreed to cooperate with the investigation, therefore many documents of his case are classified, prosecutors asked to give the mafia as soon as possible for “productive cooperation with the investigation”.
