“The founder of a Russian bank was detained last week in London in connection with a charge of filing false tax returns,” the statement said.
The report said that "if Tinkov is found guilty, he faces imprisonment for up to three years on each count of charges."
As RIA Novosti clarifies, in total the published indictment contains two points of charge.
In late February, the United States Internal Revenue Service initiated court hearings in London against Oleg Tinkov.
On March 2, it became known that Tinkov made a pledge after the issuance of a warrant for his detention in London.
