Ukrainian Firtash Charged by U.S. in India Mine Scheme (2) - Businessweek #EuroMaidan

Ukrainian Firtash Charged by U.S. in India Mine Scheme (2) - Businessweek:



"Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian businessman who amassed his fortune in Russia’s gas trade, was indicted on U.S. bribery charges tied to a $500 million Indian mining project in a case he says is politically motivated. 




Firtash, 48, allegedly conspired with five other men and met with Indian government officials as part of an effort to pay $18.5 million in bribes to facillitate the project, aimed at generating titanium product sales to firms including an Illinois-based company.



``Firtash was the leader of the enterprise,'' Chicago U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon said today in a statement."
