Mikhail Khodokorsky, a former Russian oligarch who has become one of Vladimir Putin’s most vocal opponent in exile, reacts to the spectacular arrest and indictment of Economy Minister Alexeï Uliukaïev on corruption charges in Moscow this week. He argues that the allegations appear to be trumped up for political reasons and in order to favor the interests of one of Igor Sechin, the head of the oil giant company Rosneft and one of Vladimir Putin’s closest ally, whom he describes as a “leech”.
