On the night of November 15, the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia announced the arrest of Alexei Ulyukayev on suspicion of corruption. The minister is suspected of receiving a bribe of two million dollars.
According to the IC, for the money Ulyukayev has issued a positive opinion, which allowed Rosneft to buy state-owned shares of Bashneft.
According to the official representative of the investigation, Ulyukayev "was caught red-handed while taking a bribe." The Interfax source said the bribe was passed to the minister under the control of the security forces.
A spokesman for the Russian President Peskov confirmed that Putin was informed about this operation. He also said Ulyukaev had been followed for more than a year and his talks and e-mail had been under the control of the Federal Security Service. -02D-
