Prosecutors warn Russian oligarchs

One of Russia's top investigators has warned that other leading business figures will face the same criminal prosecutions as the oil billionaire and Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky, jailed last week for nine years for tax evasion and fraud.

The deputy prosecutor general, Vladimir Kolesnikov, told Russia's NTV channel: "I can say one thing, case will not be the last."

Asked why other tycoons - known as oligarchs - had not been arrested already, he said: "Unfortunately someone ran away. We were too human that time and they managed to hide."

Both he and a spokesman for the prosecutor offered no further details yesterday.
