Sergei Mikhailov (businessman)
Sergei Mikhailov (Russian: Серге́й Анатольевич Михайлов), nickname Mikhas, is a Russian businessman and leader of the Solntsevskaya Bratva.
Mikhailov was originally a waiter, but moved into the criminal world after a conviction for fraud . Together with Viktor Averin, Mikhas formed the Solntsevo group in the late 1980s.[1] In 1998, Mikhas was arrested in Switzerland on charges of false documents and a law about foreigners owning property.[2] He was later acquitted after a key witness was murdered in Amsterdam.[3]
