More than a dozen Russian businessmen have died this year, some under mysterious circumstances.
After days of questions from the international press, the Russian government on Monday confirmed the death of Forex Club founder Vyacheslav Taran in a helicopter crash last week near his home in southeastern France.
"The Russian Embassy confirms the death of Vyacheslav Taran in a helicopter crash that occurred on Friday in the area of Villefranche-sur-Mer commune," Alexander Makogonov, a spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Paris, told the state news agency TASS."Representatives of the Russian Consulate in Villefranche-sur-Mer are staying in touch with the family of the deceased to settle all administrative matters.
Others, meanwhile, can only speculate what caused the death of yet another high-profile figure within the Russian business community.
