Fund Manager Alleges Russian Tax Fraud

As I read this, the allegations are that documents removed by Ministry of the Interior officials later were used to steal three investment companies and then commit tax fraud. Going to be difficult to prove, I suspect. There has been a great deal of company heft using false documentation in Russia, developing from the use of the same technique to steal buildings and building sites. Western regulators and legislators need to ensure legal measures are in place in the EU, because the techniques will certainly be transferred here before too long.
