The arrest of Russian tycoon Ziyavudin Magomedov and his brother Magomed is not a single action, but part of focused and systematic fight against embezzlement of state funds, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"No, this is not a kind of a single action," Peskov said.
According to him, a very tough and focused policy is underway on monitoring the use of state funds.
Peskov refused to comment on the Magomedov case, other than that the investigation is continuing. "There will be a trial that will define if those detained are guilty or not," he said.
The Kremlin believes that speculations about some link between the arrest of the Magomedov brothers and the current political processes, including the formation of a new government are "political gossip."
"Let’s leave it for political scientists to discuss. We cannot take part in such debate," TASS cited Peskov as saying.
