The National Crime Agency of Great Britain arrested a Russian billionaire and then released him on bail

The businessman was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the Home Office and conspiracy to give false evidence.

The detainee is 58 years old and was arrested at his multi-million dollar residence in London. The agency does not name the detainee.

In addition to the billionaire, British special services also arrested 35-year-old and 39-year-old men who also participated in the conspiracy. One of them was leaving the residence with a bag containing thousands of British pounds in cash.

NCA investigators have now questioned all three detainees and released them on bail.
