A Violent Death Exposes Fish Piracy in Russia

Fish Pirates! Unfortunately, we're not talking about fish who turn to piracy but to people who steal fish. Despite the concept, which seems kind of silly to me, these are violent men. They killed a Russian general last month; he had come to Sakhalin to put a stop to poaching. Not out of the goodness of his heart, of course. The Russian government doesn't get any of the money from illegal fishing, and the Russian people don't see the fish; they go to Japan.
