Leonid "Tarzan" Fainberg also known as Ludwig Lyosha Fainberg[1] (born 1958) is an Israeli mobster. Born in Odessa, Fainberg left the Soviet Union in the early 1980s for Israel, and moved to the United States following the fall of the Soviet Union. In the mid-1990s, Fainberg attempted to purchase a Soviet submarine for use in drug smuggling for a Colombian cocaine cartel. Fainberg lived in Miami between 1990 and 1997, when he was arrested and convicted of smuggling and racketeering. He spent thirty months in jail before his trial, and was deported to Israel after the conviction.[2] A year later Fainberg was living in Canada, working in sex trade, but in January 2003 Canadian immigration authorities arrested him and deported him back to Israel.[3]
