MOSCOW, September 5 (RIA Novosti) - A member of the lower chamber of Russia's parliament, the State Duma, made new accusations Monday against former premier Mikhail Kasyanov.
Alexander Khinshtein told a Moscow news conference that he had carried out his own investigation and found two properties linked with Kasyanov's name.
"One property registered in the name of Mikhail Kasyanov is a 4.7-hectare plot in the village of Usovo in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region," Khinshtein said.
According to Khinshtein, Kasyanov bought the land in a prestigious area of the Rublevsky highway from a firm, Landis, in July 2004 for 4.5 million rubles ($158,000).
