Yeah. It's open season on oligarchs. Glazyev says Chubais should go to jail.
President sounds fresh warning to oligarchs
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that there will be no redistribution of privatized property. Speaking at a sitting of the board of the Chamber of Trade and Industry, he said ''no such thing is being planned'', but added that ''it doesn't concern people who weren't observing the law.'' He was speaking on the same day a Moscow court ruled to keep former YUKOS boss Mikhail Khodokovsky in custody pending a trial on embezzlement and fraud charges.
