Konstantin Kovar's criminal organization

"Kovar decided to expand his territory, a casino."

- Ishmael Gregor on Kovar's expanding turf

A criminal organization was created by the Krasnoyarsk governor Konstantin Kovar, using his connections in the Russian government as a front. The organization controlled illegal fighting rings and expanded to building casinos. It was a rival to the Solntsevskaya Bratva.

History
When Oliver Queen first came to Krasnoyarsk, Russia, he joined an illegal fighting ring ran by Konstantin Kovar's man. Oliver's manager on the fighting ring was supposed to eventually arrange him a meeting with "Mr. Kovar", but bailed out when Oliver ended up killing Solntsevskaya Bratva's own fighting ring champion, who's been bringing them great money.

One day Kovar's thugs assaulted Cafe Lyublyu, one of the favored turfs of the Bratva in Krasnoyarsk, with Anatoly Knyazev considering it a declaration of war. Bratva Pakhan Ishmael Gregor told Oliver Queen that Kovar is using his position as a governor to expand his criminal enterprises, one of its facets being a new casino. Oliver was sent to the casino "owner" in the guise of an "American investor", but after his identity was revealed, knocked the man own and sent his Bratva grunt partner to set up bombs in the building. The two were cut short as Kovar's own thugs took them prisoner. Later on, Kovar and his gangsters met Queen and the Bratva thug in their office, with the governor/crime boss himself murdering the Bratva man.
