Russian oligarch's arrest a warning from Putin, says hedge fund boss | Business | The Guardian

Russian oligarch's arrest a warning from Putin, says hedge fund boss | Business | The Guardian:



"The arrest of one of Russia's richest men last week was an attempt by President Vladimir Putin to protect himself from a palace coup, according to one of his most vocal critics.



Bill Browder, the hedge fund manager who has become a crusader against Russian corruption, said the arrest of Vladimir Yevtushenkov was intended to send a message to any oligarch plotting moves against Putin, as the value of their assets drops in the wake of western sanctions.



Yevtushenkov was released on Friday, after being put under house arrest for three days on charges of money laundering."
