No mention of the actual weed shop owner at all. It is interesting on that island that there is just this 1 guy who runs the entire cctv and tourist police and somehow all these dozens of illegal working yoga course sellers and others can continue without being caught. With plenty of drugs, rape and other vices happening inside those circles. You always see him on the news photos.

I'm still trying to understand the photo never mind if that's a man or woman. 

Me too. Is the Russian guy the one sitting next to her in his 'fake' combat clobber? 

Or, is he the one on the left of the headline picture in 'fake' police attire?

Or, is the thug a long-haired girl pretending to be a mafia thuggy?

Or, is it a 'fake' picture?

 

Or, am I going crazy?

Vladislav Klenov, was arrested after police received a tip-off about his fake authority antics on March 9.

 

Very good, now deport him to the front in Russia.

I think it's the other way round

The person in the middle in in handcuffs which have been blurred out. The other two are cops.
