Banker Andrei Borodin granted asylum in Britain after fleeing Vladimir Putin's Russia
Andrei Borodin, 45, told The Daily Telegraph that Britain had given him refuge after he submitted evidence showing how he was targeted for a politically motivated prosecution by Dmitry Medvedev, the former president who is now Russia’s prime minister.
The Kremlin denounced the Home Office’s decision, accusing Britain of interfering in an “ordinary criminal” matter and declaring the asylum application a “simple ruse”.
Mr Borodin fled to London in 2011 and, soon afterwards, bought Britain’s most expensive home, the £140 million Park Place Estate near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.
He was previously chief executive and co-owner of the Bank of Moscow. Mr Borodin is wanted in Russia for alleged fraud and was made the subject of an Interpol “red notice” last summer. He was close to Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow who was ousted three years ago, and to the politician’s wife, Yelena Baturina, a billionaire property magnate.
Mr Borodin is accused of enabling a loan of £270million from his bank – then partly controlled by the Moscow city government – to a company that used the money to buy land from Ms Baturina at an inflated price.

Man arrested for having sex with horse - a second time
A US man has been arrested for a second time for allegedly having sex with a horse.
Patrick Linn has been accused of breaking into a barn belonging to farmer Allen McDearmid and having sex with one of his equines - which is exactly the same thing he was arrested for in 2010, WCTV reports.
But the only change on this occasion was that Linn showed his affections to a different horse - called Sunny - and he has since been charged with burglary, trespassing and sex acts with animals.
Allen said: "I would say it's hard to believe, but I had a feeling he'd be back because I believe it's a compulsion-type thing with him."
