Boss of St Petersberg’s Mikhailovsky Theatre is banned from foreign travel

Bailiffs in St Peters­burg have banned the dir­ector of the Mikhail­ovsky Theatre, Vladi­mir Kekh­man, from leav­ing Rus­sia, said Lenta.

Busi­ness­man Kekh­man has debts exceed­ing 285 mil­lion rubles (7 mil­lion euros). The cur­rent restric­tion lasts until 12 August.

The Kekh­man Group JFC imports fruits, but accord­ing to vari­ous estim­ates, the company’s debts range from 15.8 to 38.5 bil­lion rubles. Kekh­man him­self was declared bank­rupt in a Lon­don court at the end of 2012.

The Mikhail­ovsky Theatre, which he has dir­ec­ted since 2007, will con­tinue with its programming.
