UKRAINIAN OLIGARCH FACING BRIBERY TRIAL

UKRAINIAN gas oligarch Dmytro Firtash bought the disused Brompton Road Tube station from the MoD for £53million in 2014.

The station, now lying empty, was once used as a top secret command centre for Winston Churchill during World War II.

The 52-year-old, pictured, made his purchase just weeks before his arrest in Vienna on a warrant from the FBI.

Mr Firtash was held on suspicion of involvement in the creation of a criminal group and paying bribes.

In February this year, a court in Vienna approved a US request to extradite him to face trial on bribery charges. He denies the allegations.
