Combating corruption/ Russia
The
shock overnight detention of Sakhalin region Governor Alexander Khoroshavin is
a sign that elite groups around President Vladimir Putin have intensified their
fight for influence in Russia's resource-rich regions, analysts told The Moscow
Times on Wednesday.
Khoroshavin,
55, was the first governor in almost nine years to be detained while in office.
His official residence, dacha and Moscow apartment were all searched before he
was flown to the capital on Wednesday, where the Investigative Committee has opened
a criminal case into large-scale bribe-taking.
