You're reading: Medvedev: Court found it necessary to arrest Calvey at that point

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has said that if a court in Russia ruled to arrest the founder and managing partner of Baring Vostok Michael Calvey, the court must have grounds to rule so.

“In any country, a court may issue a ruling on the basis of evidence prepared by the investigation. Apparently, in this situation they had such evidence. What is going to happen next, I just don’t know,” Medvedev said at a press briefing following talks with his counterpart Xavier Bettel in Luxembourg.
