Kremlin says no political agenda behind search of tycoon's offices

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said it had nothing to do with law enforcement searches of the offices of Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov and that there was no connection between the searches and articles published by the RBC media group which Prokhorov controls.

"It is absolutely inappropriate to connect any activities by law enforcement to the editorial policy of RBC holding, all the more so to connect this to the Kremlin," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with journalists.

"I would add that, there's no question ... of there having been any kind of pressure on the editorial policy of RBC.
