 |  | Russia's former nuclear energy minister has been extradited to face
corruption charges in his homeland, rather than the US, where he is
also wanted.
Yevgeny Adamov has denied the charges against him
|
The Supreme Court in Switzerland, where Yevgeny Adamov
was being held, this week overturned an earlier ruling to hand him to
the US.
The US accuses Mr Adamov of embezzling up to $9m (£5.2m) it gave to improve security at Russian nuclear facilities.
Moscow filed its own extradition request shortly after the US.
Mr Adamov, who was held on a US warrant in Bern in May, will now face charges in Russia of embezzling $17m (£9.8m).
Russia was fighting for Mr Adamov to be returned for
fear that his detailed knowledge of the country's nuclear weapons
programme could fall into US hands.
The nuclear physicist, who was Russia's atomic energy
minister from 1998 to 2001, accepts his extradition to his homeland but
continues to deny the charges.
Mr Adamov was flown out of Zurich airport late on Friday
aboard a specially chartered Russian jet, the Swiss justice ministry
said.
