Not in my opinion. He tried to extort a few Greeks and him and his group all wound up in prison after a very short time. We would not even know of him if not for one of the Greeks knowing luccese members who tried to talk to Rudaj, who along with his men acted so dumb the attempt at negotiations fell apart. One of Rudajs men was said to have threatened to shoot a nearby gas pump and kill them all. I'm now sure how long Rudaj lasted. I don't think he even had others from his own country supporting him.
