NICE, France (Reuters) - AS Monaco football club owner Dmitry Rybolovlev was put under investigation on Thursday over allegations of complicity in invasion of privacy linked to a dispute with an art dealer, the principality's top prosecutor told Reuters. Being put under investigation in Monaco is not equivalent to being charged. "I am certain that the Monaco judicial system ... will clarify all this," he said in a statement emailed to Reuters. The case is linked to an investigation into a dispute between Rybolovlev and Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier. The matter at stake in Thursday's move are allegations that a lawyer for Rybolovlev taped conversations linked to the broader investigation, prosecutor Jacques Doremieux said.
