Court appoints bail of five million euros for Kerimov

A French Court has charged Suleiman Kerimov with tax evasion and money laundering, the RIA "Novosti" reports today citing Jean-Michel Pratr, the Prosecutor of Nice.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in the evening on November 20, Suleiman Kerimov was detained by the French police in the case of tax evasion. Suleiman Kerimov pleaded not guilty.

The court decided not to detain the Russian Senator, but he will have to give away his Russian passport; it is forbidden to him to leave France until the inquiry is over; and he will have to appear at the police weekly. Besides, Kerimov must pay a bail of five million euros, the RBC reports.

Kerimov is suspected of buying several villas on the Cote d'Azur (Azure Seashore) of France through dummy companies, which allowed him not to pay taxes, the "Interfax" writes referring the French "Figaro" newspaper.

According to the newspaper, along with Kerimov, four other people have been detained, who had worked for him at various real estate sites in the region.
