Interfax

MOSCOW. Sept 29 (Interfax) – The lawyer of Bank of Moscow’s ex-president Andrei Borodin has protested new fraud charges against client, describing them as illegal.

Earlier, Borodin was charged with fraud worth more than 12.5 billion rubles.

“There are no reasons whatsoever for these charges against Borodin,” lawyer Mikhail Dolomanov has told Interfax.

Borodin’s lawyers were not informed about the indictment, he said.

“Since the defense was not notified about the letter of indictment, the charges cannot be regarded as valid and are in fact doubtful”, Dolomanov said.
