Russian Economy Minister Ulyukayev charged with $2m bribe
The minister pleaded not guilty to the bribe charge and saw his arrest as "an act of provocation against a state official", his lawyer said.
According to SK spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko, "Ulyukayev was caught red-handed", receiving a $2m bribe on 14 November for giving a favourable assessment of the Rosneft deal. Investigators asked the court to place him under house arrest, Interfax reported.
Mr Ulyukayev's deputy Yevgeny Yelin was appointed later on Tuesday as acting economy minister.
