Ukraine Billionaire Firtash Jailed in Vienna on FBI Warrant (1) - Businessweek:
"Dmitry Firtash, the Ukrainian billionaire who made his fortune on Russian natural-gas imports, was arrested in Vienna on a warrant issued by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Firtash was taken into custody yesterday by the organized-crime unit of the Austrian police, according to a statement by the country’s Interior Ministry today. His lawyers and spokesmen didn’t immediately respond to phone calls.
“The arrest took place without incident,” the ministry said in the statement. Firtash, 48, is alleged to have paid bribes and formed a criminal organization, according to the warrant, issued after an FBI investigation that began in 2006, the ministry said."
