Russian officials have responded by accusing the ex-mayor of '"limitless corruption" during his 18 years in office.
Last week Russian prosecutors demanded that Mr Luzhkov appear for questioning as a witness in a criminal case relating to deals conducted by the Bank of Moscow, which was part-owned by the city's government during Luzhkov's term in office.
The bank's director, Andrei Borodin, has fled Russia and currently lives in London.
