- Part One -
I entered the world of cigarette and drug smuggling in 2002. At the urging of a friend who had been in the Gang for about 5 years.
This friend told me that he was earning well, but he didn't want to tell me more, in order to protect me from the Gang.
It seemed like a fascinating and dangerous world to me, but what tempted me the most was to earn money easily. For me, it didn't matter what I had to do, I really wanted the money.
To join the gang, I had to make a contribution, I had to somehow prove my loyalty and show myself through deeds. Not everyone had this money with them, so they resorted to stealing to get money, the Gang leader told me.
But not everyone had access to the gang. Those who were infiltrated would join.
The so-called leader of the Gang was called Cercel, it was a nickname he gave. His identity changed daily, to erase his traces. Only those who knew him, knew his secrets, being trusted people.
Cercel was a well-built man, bald, and tall. He was a repeat offender, he committed many robberies in the country and abroad, I don't know his first and last name. He was a natural thief, that the police have not found him yet. He played the role of the good citizen, who doesn't want to have anything to do with the police, well.
He has good relations with the mafia in Eastern and Western Europe. He is a feared underworld in our country. I understand that he has a well-known feared rival. That was Soco. Cercel and Soco, hold the monopoly on the territory of the Republic of Moldova. There is great competition between the two. That is why the two don't really intersect. Because there is a great rivalry between the two.
With the help of my friend, I reached Cercel, to join the gang.
But you didn't think you could be accepted like that without understanding what you're getting into. This is not a place where you can leave whenever you want.
He announces to me that I have to go through a series of attempts to join the gang. To be part of the gang you have to bring money at any cost.
Cercel asks me: - What do you choose at initiation, to bring money or to steal?
- How much money do I have to bring, I ask Cercel?
Cercel answers: - A lot, I don't think you have that much? I don't think it's about money. Because you don't have this money. Then you go and steal.
- Okay!! I'm going to steal. Because I don't have this money with me.
- Very good!! I like that you're determined!! I like determined people. Your task is to rob a bank in Chisinau. You won't go alone, you'll take Vova with you. We've had our eye on the bank for a long time. He'll tell you the plan later.
- Yes!!
The other colleague, who participated in the robbery, is Vova, he was shorter than Cercel, he's the same height as me, shaved head, well-built.
Everyone in the gang is well-built. Cercel chooses the right people, he doesn't accept fat people or skinny people, he chooses to be well-built. That's why everyone in the gang, no exceptions, puts everyone to the test.
It depends on the person, they're not all the same. Cercel has a right hand that advises him to make the right decisions.
From Vova's stories, I learned that last year, they stole a gun range from their rivals, that's why they have good weapons in the warehouse.
He also found out that they have many warehouses a few kilometers from Chisinau to cover their tracks so that the police and other gang rivals don't catch up with them.
Not everyone knows about Cercel's warehouses. Only a few. They choose from their world, recidivists, who are at large and who cannot integrate into society. So that he can manipulate them as he wants. They are free and are not wanted by the police. Because Cercel does it in such a way that they disappear.
Cercel has a trick of his own to cover the tracks of his people.
He has a few businesses in Chisinau and in Balti under other names. He is doing well, because he has high-ranking connections. However, since it is just the beginning, not all doors are open.
Bobo: Thank you very much!! I assure you that I will not disappoint you!!
Vova drives me to the car. The car we got into was a black BMW, registered with Transnistrian license plates.
Vova: What, do you like the car?
Bobo: Yes, very much!! Where did you get it?
Vova: From Italy, it was stolen and assembled here, to make it look like that!! We worked on it, to make it disappear. Because the police are after us. If you rob the bank, you will join our gang. You will have a car like that too. We have a lot of these. It looks great. Most of them participate in Drifts. Our guys are on the field with them, participate in competitions. To win good money from this.
I was very excited, I had crazy courage, if only I had money and a car like Vova's. That was my dream and desire, to join the gang. To be the coolest and the smartest. But the coolest thing is to win a lot of money.
- Are you ready for initiation?
- Yes, I'm ready!! But please take me home to change?
Vova: Okay, where do you live?
Bobo: I live in Durleşti
I took the direction of Buicanilor Vechi, I entered Durleşti. Vova drove at high speed, took shortcuts, we arrived at my house.
I would so Vova where the entrance to the apartment building is.
The car stops. I open the door.
Vova tells me: Get your ass moving as quickly as possible, because we have work to do and we don't have time to waste. Do you understand?!
Bobo: I'll come quickly. I won't stay long!
I get out of the car. I enter the apartment building. There was no one at home. I go into my room. I start to undress, I take my things out of my pockets, my wallet, my phone, my lighter and my cigarettes.
I look in the closet, for ragged pants and a blue tank top. I put them on. I don't forget to take my cigarettes and lighter, I leave the other important things at home so I don't get confused. I'm also looking for an old fez, I knew it existed somewhere in my things.
After I found him, I search through the desk drawers, a pair of scissors, I make two eyes for the hat, and the mouth and nose are covered so that no one recognizes me.
I put on my old sneakers and leave the house. I go down the stairs, I head straight to the car.
Vova was waiting for me in the car. He was nervous, smoking cigarette after cigarette. I open the door and get in.
- Wow! Bro, what took so long? Time flies. Didn't you look at the clock?
- I know it took a long time, but I found something to cover my face with. But I couldn't find any surgical gloves.
- Let it go Bro, I have some in the car, I'll give you some.
- Okay!! Vova tells me about our action tonight? What's the plan? Where is the bank we're going to rob?
- Acus, I'll call you Bobo! The plan is already made by me and Cercel, I just have to tell you.
The bank you have to rob is in Botanica, at the city gates.
Take a .36 caliber pistol from the glove compartment, mine is a 35mm.
You will go in and threaten the cashier at the currency exchange, so that she will give you money. Put it in the bag, but I will stand by for 6. I will cover your back.
There is a bag in the trunk of the car, you will put the money in that. If they have customers, we will not take hostages or shoot them. We will quickly do the job and wipe it out. So that the police do not show up. It is not part of our plan. We must not leave any traces.
Vova took a different road, from my street he took it to Telecentru, I did not understand why?
Why did he change the route and where are we going. We're almost at the South Station.
- Where are we going, Vova?
- Hey Bro, we're stopping at a friend's place nearby to get some money. He owed me some money. You'll wait for me in the car. It'll take a few minutes.
We arrive at a large warehouse. A lot of cars were parked near that warehouse. Vova parks the car by the gate, and goes to the warehouse. He goes into the warehouse.
I'm waiting for him in the car. I'm listening to music. I turned the music down because my head hurt. I wanted to concentrate on robbing the bank.
It was my first time robbing a bank, I wanted to do it without worries, without getting carried away by emotions and doing it with my head.
But I was making a plan in my head, so much thinking made my head hurt even more.
When suddenly shots were heard in the warehouse. I look around to see if anyone has heard anything. I take the gun, get out of the car and head towards the warehouse. I keep the gun behind me, open the warehouse door, go straight inside. I take the gun from my back, and walk forward with it, aiming at a possible target that will come my way.
There are many containers in front of me, I walk forward looking around in case I encounter any obstacles.
There were no more shots, only words could be heard in the distance. My thoughts took me straight to Vova, maybe he was wounded and needed my help.
Further ahead, in front of me was a display of 3 dead people on the ground and a guy with a gun pointed at Vova's head. When he saw me, the guy shouted at me: put the gun down or shoot?
Vova shouted loudly: Don't listen to him, shoot, if he doesn't shoot us both! I didn't know what to do, I was in a huge panic. He kept shouting at me, put the gun down or I'll shoot him!
I've never held a gun in my hand, or shot a man. Now feelings were out of the question, it wasn't for me. I had to save my friend, we had a plan together to follow through. I had to do something.
Vova shouts shoot once, what are you waiting for?
And the guy shouts, put the gun down or I'll shoot him?
Come on Bro, don't you hear me, my hands are shaking, I can't even hold the gun properly before it discharges into the guy's leg. He falls, holding onto his leg. Vova takes the gun and shoots him again. The bullet hits the guy in the shoulder.
Vova throws the guy's gun away and we run to the exit. We get out. We head to the car. We get in. Vova starts the engine. Press the accelerator and let's go.
I was scared, and Vova was nervous and agitated, swearing like a motherfucker. He didn't expect anything like this. We both lit our cigarettes, smoked excitedly and nervously.
- Thank you very much for helping me!! Otherwise, I think I would be dead. Who would help you rob the bank?
I said nothing, nodding my head in agreement.
I smoked cigarette after cigarette. I didn't ask him what happened. I let it all pass. Vova was driving at high speed, making some sharp turns Russians, not just to get to the bank. We went out to the place we needed to go. I kept it that way. Just so that we could get there faster.
Vova tells me in advance to put on my hat and surgical gloves. We enter a courtyard, the bank was in front of us, it was called Lex. We stopped in front of it.
I got out of the car and drove into the bank at high speed. With guns in front of me, Vova stops at the guard and immobilizes him, and I go ahead to immobilize the two tellers at the counter.
I shout at one of them: - Put the money in the bag!! I shout at her once more, loudly. She opens the safe and puts the money in the bag, mechanically.
I tie the second teller's hands and cover her mouth with a plaster, so that she doesn't make any noise and ruin our plans.
Both of them were scared, their faces as white as chalk, like the bank wall, their eyes were wide, like two onions, they read, don't kill us, we have a family.
We didn't pay attention to their names, but we paid attention to how much money they put in. One was blonde, and the other was brunette. They were cute. I liked the blonde one, I've always had an affinity for blondes, not all of them, just the natural ones.
Once again I yell at the blonde one to put the money in the bag faster! She was scared and was putting the money in the bag, I told her to put 100 lei bills in.
Vova was yelling at me: - Come on, Bro!! Move your ass, it has to arrive faster!!
After she put the money in the bag, I tied her up, I covered her mouth with shells. So she wouldn't scream for help. I put the gun on my back, picked up the money from the floor, and left the bank.
I got in the car and Vova stepped on the accelerator. I disappeared without a trace. When I left the bank area, I took off my surgical masks and gloves.
We drove to the Râşcani area, at the exit from Chişinău, near Stauceni. Both of us were satisfied with the loot and the success. Vova was satisfied with my work. He called Cercel to tell him that our plan had been carried out to the end. And when we arrived at our place, we took the inner streets as far as possible, as far away from the crowds as possible, so that no one would notice the deed and our car.
To be continued!
