Russia's prosecutor-general has opened a criminal case against the UK-based Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, accusing him of a coup plot.
Russia has sent an extradition request to the UK government.
Mr Berezovsky, 59, was granted asylum three years ago and has a fortune estimated at Ј800m ($1.4bn).
He told a Russian radio station in January he wanted to replace what he called the "anti-constitutional regime" of President Vladimir Putin.
