PARIS, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Russian tycoon Alexey Kuzmichev has been detained for questioning in France in connection with alleged tax evasion and money laundering and for violating international sanctions, the French Financial Prosecutors’ office said on Tuesday. Kuzmichev was still being detained on Tuesday but has not yet been charged in the case. Russia will be able to defend Kuzmichev's rights once Paris provides detailed information about his case, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. "As far as I understand, he is a citizen of the Russian Federation so we should receive information about the detention through our diplomatic mission," Peskov told reporters. "Once we receive the information, and if the detainee so wishes, we will of course assist in protecting his rights as a Russian citizen."
