Former Russian nuclear minister Yevgeny Adamov was arrested on May 2, 2005, on a US warrant for, among other things, allegedly laundering $9m in funding from the US Department of Energy for eliminating nuclear waste in Russia. After the arrest the Russian Prosecutor General's Office also launched proceedings against Adamov, charging him with embezzlement and abuse of office. The Swiss court decided to send Adamov to Russia. He is currently in custody in Russia waiting for the trial.
