United Kingdom Russia searches Deutsche Bank office in fraud probe
Published on 02/02/2011
Russian investigators on Wednesday searched the main offices of Deutsche Bank in Moscow as part of a probe into alleged embezzlement linked to the construction of a hotel, a statement said.
The investigation concerns alleged embezzlement during the reconstruction of the Moscow Hotel, a vast Stalin-era building located opposite the Kremlin near Red Square, the Investigative Committee statement said.
Investigators said that an aide to a Russian lawmaker had embezzled $87.5 million (63 million euros) during the reconstruction of the hotel, which is owned by a company controlled by the Moscow city government.
It was not immediately clear from the investigators’ statement what role Deutsche Bank played in the probe.
