LONDON (AP) - British police said Tuesday they have arrested Russian tycoon
Boris Berezovsky for alleged fraud at the request of the Russian
authorities. An extradition request charges that Berezovsky defrauded the
administration of Russia's Samara region while director of a company called
LogoVaz between Jan. 1, 1994 and Dec. 31, 1995. The Metropolitan Police said
officers arrested Berezovsky in London early Monday. A LogoVaz associate,
Yuli Dubov, was also arrested Monday, police said.
