"The NCA conducted a large-scale operation to arrest a wealthy Russian businessman on suspicion of money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the Home Office and conspiracy to give false evidence," the UK's National Crime Agency said in a statement.
It is reported that the 58-year-old businessman was detained on Thursday, December 1, at his multimillion-dollar residence in London.
In addition, two more people were detained. A 35-year-old man who worked at the house was arrested nearby on suspicion of money laundering and obstructing an NCA officer. He left the house with a bag which was found to contain thousands of pounds in cash.
Another man, aged 39, the ex-boyfriend of the businessman's current partner, was arrested at his home in Pimlico, London, on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud.
More than 50 officers were involved in the operation at the businessman's London home. A number of digital devices and a significant amount of cash were seized following large-scale searches carried out by NCA investigators.
All three men were questioned by the NCA and released on bail.
