The Kyrgyz president's office said Maxim Bakiyev, whose father Kurmanbek Bakiyev was removed from power in April 2010, had been arrested in London on Friday at the request of Kyrgyzstan and the US. The 34-year-old, who under his father headed an investment agency, has been accused by the country's new authorities of involvement in large-scale frauds that stripped the impoverished former Soviet nation's coffers of millions of dollars.
