Oligarch Seller Of ‘Salvator Mundi’ Formally Charged In Major Monaco Corruption Scandal

Dmitry Rybolovlev faces charges of “trading in passive influence and violation of the secrecy of the investigation” as part of what Le Monde has described as “a vast influence-peddling scandal at the heart of Monaco institutions.” The billionaire — who in 2004 bought Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion sight unseen at an inflated price — is suing art dealer Yves Bouvier, and he is accused of getting Monaco’s former justice minister to influence the case.
