MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - A French judge has ordered a prominent Russian businessman and lawmaker Suleiman Kerimov pay a 40 million euro (£35 million) bail for his release pending a tax fraud and money laundering investigation, a judicial source said on Wednesday.
Kerimov was arrested on Nov. 20 in Nice on the French Riviera, prompting the Kremlin to intervene and say it would "do everything in our power to protect his lawful interests".
