MOSCOW, May 11 (RAPSI) – Dzimitry Niadzvetski, Russian national working as a broker with the London office of Archer Daniels Midland, a US global food processing and commodities trading corporation, was arrested by the City of London Police on suspicions of money laundering within an investigation into an alleged scam organized by a Russian gang, Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

Niadzvetski was released on police bail without charge, according to the newspaper.

As it has been reported earlier, the investigation started when Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), an American network of exchanges and clearing houses, turned to police after finding out that some suspicious transactions were being carried out on the London futures market. In the framework of the probe a Russian national, 43, whose name law enforcement authorities did not officially disclose, was arrested in the London City yet in April. Police also could freeze five trading accounts totaling to $22 million.

According to police, a Russian oil firm, a Swiss investment firm and a company registered in the British Virgin Islands might be a front for a Russian gang engaged in money laundering. No particulars with regard to these firms were disclosed.
