Russia's leading corruption whistleblower on Friday accused Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's close ally Igor Shuvalov of graft.

Alexei Navalny posted on his blog the scans of documents that show tens of millions of U.S. dollars transferred to the account of Shuvalov's company from companies that Navalny alleges are owned by billionaires Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov.

Navalny's disclosure follows articles in the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal earlier this week that mentioned the same murky deals.
