Billionaire Ukrainian industrialist Dmytro Firtash and five other foreign nationals have been indicted by federal prosecutors in Chicago on charges they participated in an international racketeering conspiracy involving at least $18.5 million in bribes to state and central government officials in India to allow the mining of titanium minerals.
The scheme involved a plan to sell millions of pounds of minerals mined in India to Chicago-based Boeing Co., which was identified in the indictment only as “Company A.” But Boeing has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
