| Description | Mongolia's former prime minister bought two luxury apartments in New York City with the proceeds of a corrupt scheme, US authorities have alleged.
Prosecutors are seeking to seize the prime real estate in midtown Manhattan, worth a total of $14m (£11m).
They allege Sukhbaatar Batbold, who served as PM from 2009-2012, bought the flats after his family-controlled firm was awarded a major mining contract.
Mining is the key industry in Mongolia. Mr Batbold has denied the accusations.
The Mongolian politician, 60, still sits in parliament. |
