MOSCOW (Reuters) -A Russian court on Tuesday extended the pre-trial detention of Vadim Moshkovich, the billionaire founder of Russia's top agriculture company Rusagro who faces charges of embezzlement, until August 25, his lawyer told Reuters.
Moshkovich, a member of Russia's upper house parliament between 2006 and 2014, was remanded in custody for two months in late March and has been charged with embezzling 30 billion roubles ($372.67 million). He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
