The specific charge or charges against Mr. Rybolovlev have not been clarified. He was left free and placed under judicial control, like the three other defendants: his lawyer Tetiana Bersheda, and the son and wife of Monaco's ex-Minister of Justice Philippe Narmino, the prosecutor's office said. from Monaco, confirming information from Nice-Matin.
Other police operations conducted as part of this investigation were underway on Wednesday, the prosecutor added, without further precision.
Rybolovlev, who was in police custody on Tuesday, spent the night in police custody, a source familiar with the case had previously learned. In October 2017, he had already been charged with "complicity in infringement of the right to respect for private life".
This new accusation comes as the club owned by the Russian billionaire and the president is in the doldrums: 19th in Ligue 1, the ASM recorded Tuesday night the heaviest defeat in its history in European Cup (0 -4 against Brugge FC), and is already eliminated from the Champions League.
"The facts for which (Mr Rybolovlev) is heard are based (…) on the exploitation of the mobile phone of his lawyer", said Tuesday in a statement My Hervé Temime and Thomas Giaccardi, the lawyers of the Russian, denouncing a violation of the secrecy of the instruction and called to respect the presumption of innocence.
The two lawyers have constantly denounced an infringement of the secrecy of the lawyer's correspondence: the laptop Tetiana Bersheda had been seized in the medico-judicial battle between Mr. Rybolovlev to Mr. Bouvier, the first accusing the second for having cheated her of a billion dollars, with the complicity of their common friend Tania Rappo, by applying exorbitant margins when selling paintings.
Revealing SMS?
In support of this complaint for fraud filed early 2015, Me Bersheda had itself produced a registration of Ms. Rappo, challenged by it.
The investigating judge then had all the messages contained in the telephone removed, which Mr. Rybolovlev's lawyers consider illegal. "An appeal to the Monaco revision court is ongoing in this respect", they recalled Tuesday.
Published in the French press, text messages from Bersheda's phone made a scandal in Monaco, appearing to demonstrate that Mr. Rybolovlev would have benefited from the apparent good relations of his lawyer with the leaders of the Monegasque police and with Philippe Narmino, then guard of Seals of the Principality, to trap Mr. Bouvier.
