Russian Ex-Minister Stole Funds

Yevgeny Adamov


"A Russian judge has found former atomic energy minister Yevgeny Adamov guilty of abuse of office and embezzling millions of dollars.

Mr Adamov was extradited from Switzerland in December 2005. The US accuses him of embezzling $9m (£4.6m) it donated to improve nuclear safety.

A Russian prosecutor asked the court to sentence Mr Adamov to nine years in jail. He denies any wrongdoing."
