  • Story Text: Russian Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev arrived in a Moscow Basmanny court on Tuesday (November 15) afternoon after he was detained and charged with extorting a $2 million bribe from Rosneft, Russia's biggest oil company, in a case that threatens to expose fault lines in President Vladimir Putin's inner circle.
    Ulyukayev has denied he is guilty of receiving bribes, a Russian investigator told a court on Tuesday.
