Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman said a UK police warrant to search his home was unlawfully obtained, per Reuters.
He wants to overturn the warrant which he said was obtained based on allegations from a 2007 report.
Back in December, the UK National Crime Agency, or NCA, searched Fridman's multi-million dollar home over several allegations — including conspiracy to evade UK sanctions and money laundering — per Reuters.
Cathryn McGahey, the NCA's lawyer, said in court filings the UK government agency admitted its raid on Fridman's house was "unlawful," per Reuters.
An NCA spokesperson told Insider that it accepted that the search warrant contained technical errors.
