MOSCOW. Dec 28 (Interfax) - The Russian Investigative Committee questioned ex-Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov as a witness to the Defense Ministry embezzlement case on Friday. He refused to answer questions of investigators, committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Interfax.

"A. Serdyukov has just left the building of the Russian Investigative Committee. He did not answer questions of the detectives," he said.

An Interfax correspondent reported that the ex-minister had spent about an hour at the Investigative Committee's Main Military Investigative Department.
