A Russian restaurateur and a pro-Kremlin rapper who together bought the Starbucks business in Russia last year are now taking over the Russian assets of Domino's Pizza.

Pinsky told reporters the pair had already invested hundreds of millions of rubles in the business. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
