Russian investigators searched offices belonging to an Ikea subsidiary on the outskirts of Moscow, a spokeswoman for the Swedish group said, adding it was cooperating with the authorities.
"We have a search of documents going on in Khimki Business Park" north of Moscow, a spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the news agency.
The facility is a real estate subsidiary of the Ikea Group. "We are cooperating with the representatives of the authorities," she said. "This has nothing to do with the store."
