A Ukrainian billionaire was arrested in France

Ukrainian billionaire Konstantin Zhivago, arrested yesterday in the Courcheville resort, is leaving the board of iron ore producer Ferrexpo. This is stated in the press release of the company.

In November, Ukrainian investigators conducted several searches at enterprises belonging to Zhivago. At that time, the Ukrainian media reported that he was suspected of cooperation with Russia and tax evasion. On December 28, the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine announced the arrest of Zhivago in France at their request. Documents are being prepared for his extradition to Ukraine.
