(Tbilisi. March 18, 2003. Civil Georgia) – Russian General Prosecutor’s Office seeks for extradition of tycoon Boris Berezovsky and his financial aide Badri Patarkatsishvili.
Berezovsky, which is in exile in London, and his associates – particularly his aide Badri Patarkatsishvili, which runs a private TV channel in Tbilisi – are accused for misappropriation of 2,033 automobiles belonging to the LogoVAZ, which was formerly Russia’s largest automobile dealer and which was controlled by Berezovsky.
“Patarkatsishvili is charged for committing crime in Russia, thus he should be trialed in Russia,” Deputy General Prosecutor of Russia Vladimir Kalesnikov told the Russian news agency Interfax.
