MOSCOW, Sep 7 (PRIME) -- The Syktyvkar City Court has put Mikhail Slobodin, former CEO of mobile operator VimpelCom, on the federal wanted list upon a request of the Investigative Committee, Rambler News Service reported Wednesday.
The committee is looking into actions of former and current managers of power company T Plus, a legal successor of the reorganized KES-holding, headed by Slobodin in 2002–2010.
The law enforcement authorities suspect that the company’s managers handed more than 800 million rubles in bribes to officials of the Komi Republic, in the country’s northwest, to impose high tariffs for electric power.
Slobodin resigned from VimpelCom on Monday after learning about the investigation. He was in France at that moment, but said he would return to Russia as soon as he completes his affairs.
