A Russian banker who was shot in London and is now in a coma is wanted in Moldova over financial crimes, a Russian daily reported on Saturday.

Moldovan prosecutors opened several criminal probes into German Gorbuntsov, who was shot outside his home in east London on Tuesday, after a bank he owned there, Universalbank, was closed down in February, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

"We can write a thousand requests but Britain will never extradite him to us," it quoted anti-corruption prosecutor Viorel Radetchi as saying.

A man named as German Gorbuntsov is listed as wanted on the website of Moldova's Centre for Combatting Economic Crimes and Corruption
