MOSCOW, June 27. /TASS/. Founder of the Rolf car dealer, Sergey Petrov plans to contact business ombudsman Boris Titov to protect his interests.

"I will turn to him. I need to use all the options," Petrov told TASS.

Earlier on Thursday, Russia’s Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case against Sergey Petrov and several managers of the company for withdrawal of 4 bln rubles ($63.4 mln) abroad, the committee’s spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told TASS.
