| - Samed Vezirzade is an organized crime leader. He was born in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1954, to a prominent local family. He received a degree in petrochemical engineering from the University of Moscow in 1973. He then returned to Azerbaijan where he initially worked in the exploration division of Azerneftegaz.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, he became one of the handfuls of men who control all oil production within Azerbaijan, he is a leader of the so-called Oil Mafia. Vezirzade's personal fortune is now thought to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. He is very secretive about his private life and his movements although he is still believed to live in Azerbaijan, his whereabouts have not been known since late 1998. Sources report that since his days as a student at the University of Moscow, Vezirzade has harbored strong negative feelings against the West. Indications have that as he grew older he has only hardened his convictions. With personal monetary funds greater than those of many countries, and an agenda of hate directed at Europe and the United States, he is high on the list of many intelligence agencies as a potential terrorist threat.
