embezzlement charges: Officially, the reason for his departure was overstaying his visa, according to The Independent. The 42-year-old former billionaire had been sought by Russian prosecutors to stand trial on embezzlement charges. Accused by Russian authorities of embezzling almost six billion roubles from 80 property investors, Mr Polonsky was deported from Cambodia at around 7.20am on Sunday, bound for Moscow via Vietnam. Mr Polonsky – who denies the Russian accusations – contested extradition proceedings. The staff of the Russian Internal Affairs Ministry are deporting Mr Polonsky to the territory of the Russian Federation and he will be prosecuted in accordance to the Russian law, a ministry official, Elena Alekseyeva, said. He is accused of keeping buyers’ down payments for a Moscow luxury residential complex that was never built. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
