  • Born in the mining town of Tkibuli in the former Georgian SSR, Oniani's father died working in a mine and he turned to a life of crime. At the age of 17 he was convicted of armed robbery and served time in prison. It was here that he was initiated as a 'vor v zakone', or thief-in-law. By the 1980s he was one of the most prominent thieves in law of Moscow.[2] In the 1990s Oniani moved to Paris, where he was introduced to Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov. After being charged with several crimes he moved on to Spain,[2] where he owned stock in an airline and where he ran a construction business employing illegal Georgian immigrants until in 2005 Spanish police conducted a large scale operation against his organization. Oniani was charged with money laundering, transferring illegal immigrants and organizing a criminal gang but managed to avoid the sting, while 100 of his workers, 28 members of his gang including business partner Zakhar Kalashov[3] and even his 12-year-old daughter Gvantsa were detained.[2] It was at around this time he was put on Interpol's list of wanted criminals.[1]
