Ilyumzhinov demands sanctions against Kasparov

FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov surprised that the United States has not imposed sanctions against the former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, who has long had to get to a restrictive list of Washington.
"Kasparov has signed the corrupt contract with the head of the Singapore Chess Federation. Ethics Commission for two years suspended him, and we have now passed the documents to the prosecutor. But somehow, on this issue, Americans are silent and do not make any statements "- in particular”, said Ilyumzhinov.

"Kasparov had violated several US laws for laundering of money, and transfered money from his international fund registered in New Jersey in the US. By the way, the contract was signed by Executive Director  Mikhail Khodorkovsky, "- concluded the head of FIDE.
