  1. if he had no family back in lithuania that could be threatened, then why didnt he just walk up to any garda station and tell them everything?

  2. > The gang, as revealed in the Sunday World before, were known as The Russians despite almost exclusively coming from Lithuania and **it’s believed they are *almost solely responsible* for the dramatic rise in heroin addicts and heroin-related deaths across Ireland.**

    That’s bullshit anyway.

    Is this a reliable newspaper?

  3. Maybe I’m stupid.

    The article makes it seem like they forcibly got this lad addicted to heroin after trafficking him from eastern Europe, then made him sell heroin to pay him in heroin.

    … but surely we have fucking loads of vulnerable, isolated heroin addicts without support networks already here in Ireland? Why not just have them sell your heroin for you?

  4. All the names are lithuanian , but, they are most likely the type of people who still lived in a USSR mindset, hence “the russians” title. Lithuania, unfortunately still has those types around.
