LONDON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The Madagascan president's chief of staff has been arrested in London after being suspected of seeking a bribe from precious stone miner Gemfields (GEMGE.L), Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA) said on Monday.
Romy Andrianarisoa, who works for Madagascan President Andry Rajoelina, was arrested along with a French associate at a meeting in London where the NCA said they were believed to have attempted to solicit a bribe to secure licences to operate in the African island nation.
