A London court has released Russian businessman and Portsmouth Football Club owner Vladimir Antonov on bail following his arrest in connection with a massive money-laundering probe in Lithuania.
Antonov, 36, was detained Thursday on a European arrest warrant issued by investigators probing alleged fraud and money laundering at his banks in two Baltic states. He was arrested along with his Lithuanian partner Raimondas Baranauskas, 53.
Both said they did not consent to being extradited to Lithuania in an appearance Friday at Westminster Magistrates Court. Both were released on conditional bail.
Antonov was ordered to pay 75,000 pounds ($116,000), surrender his passport, and live and sleep at his London home. He must report to police three days a week.
