The famous writer Joan Rowling was recognized as a rich woman. The author of the books about Harry Potter earned 125 million pounds.

Meanwhile, Roman Abramovich can become the next businessman who will share the fate of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. About this today writes the British newspaper The Observer .

According to the publication, Abramovich angered the Kremlin not by his political activity, but by buying the Chelsea club and an attempt to deduce capital abroad, the newspaper claims. The Observer writes that Abramovich, not Khodorkovsky, could well have been the first entrepreneur who went to prison.

Materials on violations during the privatization of Sibneft were collected simultaneously with the documents in the Yukos case, but they decided to start with the head of the oil company. And the Chukchi governor was left for the second. Not only the Kremlin is tuned against Abramovich today, but also the State Duma.

So the deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Economic Policy Vladimir Yudin sent a report on violations during the privatization of Sibneft to the Prosecutor General. According to Yudin, during the privatization of Sibneft, at least 137 million dollars were illegally spent.
