1. Prince Charles's banker friend in Asia cash feud: Valeri Belokon,
president of Blackpool FC, says claims of money laundering inKyrgyztan are
politically motivated (1/12/13)
http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jan/12/prince-charles-kyrgyzstan-valeri-belokon

"He is accused by the authorities in the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan
<http://www.theguardian.com/world/kyrgyzstan> of helping facilitate the
theft of millions of pounds' worth of state assets. Belokon says the claims
are politically motivated and without foundation. In an emailed statement,
Belokon said: "I am still in dispute with the Republic of Kyrgyzstan and
[the] Kyrgyz side continue to provide worldwide false information about me,
perhaps in an effort to negatively influence the process against me." The
allegations are an irritation for the banker whose profile has been
steadily growing since he bought into Blackpool
<http://www.theguardian.com/football/blackpool> and, four years later, was
appointed to the board of trustees of The Prince's Foundation
<http://www.princes-foundation.org/>, one of Charles's charities. Belokon
is a former close business associate of Maxim Bakiyev
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/15/kyrgyzstan-demands-extradition-maxim-bakiyev>,
whose father, Kurmanbek, was president of Kyrgyzstan until 2010, when he
fled to Belarus following an uprising. The men have been partners in
ventures across Europe and Asia."
