Attorneys for Dmitry Rybolovlev have announced that the Swiss prosecutor’s office has dismissed the criminal proceedings initiated in 2017 against their client. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) of Switzerland concluded that “no suspicion justifying an indictment has been established.”
Dmitry Rybolovlev, billionaire and owner of Monaco football club, was accused of alleged “acts performed illegally for a foreign state” for purportedly arranging the presence of a Swiss citizen in Monaco so he could be apprehended by the Principality’s police. Following a thorough review of the case file and the materials provided by the attorneys, it was concluded not only that Dmitry Rybololev is innocent but also noted the fact that the evidence prompting the initiation of the proceedings had been obtained through the unlawful exploitation of private data from the mobile phone of the suspect’s attorney.
The attorneys expressed their satisfaction with the decision of the Swiss prosecutor’s office, emphasising that the verdict did not come as a surprise to them, but was rather an expected decision confirming Dmitry Rybolovlev’s innocence.
