Tycoon, 2 Associates Charged With Fraud
From Times Wire Reports
Russian tycoon Boris A. Berezovsky and two associates were charged with fraud in connection with the theft of cars from Russia’s largest carmaker, Avtovaz, Deputy Prosecutor General Vladimir Kolesnikov said on Russian television. He said Berezovsky, Badri Patarkatsishvili and Yulia Dubova had all been charged in absentia.
Berezovsky, who is living in self-imposed exile in Britain to avoid other embezzlement charges that he says are politically motivated, has denied the allegations of car theft.
