MOSCOW, October 28 (RIA Novosti)-Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that the documents used by the Volcker commission investigating corruption in the UN Oil-for-Food program were forgeries. "I have not seen the report itself, but I believe that we need to study the facts that might be there attentively," Lavrov said. "I say 'might' be because we contacted the Volcker commission on several times at its request and the documents that we were shown were fake and contained forged signatures of Russian officials."

He said that Russia had asked the commission to reveal the sources of the documents.
