One of the men, Gregory Yakovlevitch Timoshenko, is said to be living in a suburb of Sao Paulo. The two others, bearing the same last name, were identified as Alexander Gusschenko and Napoleon Gusschenko. Both of the latter, stemming originally from the Ukraine, are reportedly in hiding in southern Brazil.
