元ロシア原子力相を拘束 米の核安全支援金を着服の疑い
の続報。スイスの連邦裁判所はアダモフの逮捕は国際法とスイス連邦法に違反しているとしてアダモフの釈放を命じた。しかし、スイス司法省はこれを不服として上訴したため、上級審での評決が下るまでアダモフは身柄を拘束されることになる。また、ロシアはアダモフの身柄引渡しを求めていたが（機密漏洩を逮捕当初に比べて危惧しなくなってきていた）アダモフはロシアへの送還は拒否していた。

Federal Court of Switzerland has found the arrest of Russian former energy minister illegal.
Yevgeny Adamov’s lawyer, Timofey Gridnev, quoted by Interfax said the arrest made after the U.S. request was committed with violations of international and Swiss law, that is why the court found it illegal.
In a day, the court will rule the issue on Adamov’s release.
Gridnev reminded that Basmanny court of Moscow had given a sanction for Adamov’s arrest which complicates the situation. On Thursday, Moscow City Court found this sanction legal.
Earlier, Russian Prosecutor General’s office had made an official request to Switzerland for Adamov’s extradition to Russia.
The United States charge Adamov with theft of about $9 million of funds earmarked for nuclear safety projects into Russia.

The Federal Criminal Court upheld an appeal from Adamov, but the ministry immediately appealed the decision to the country’s supreme court. Adamov will remain in custody until the court rules on that appeal, said Justice Ministry spokesman Folco Galli.
“The federal supreme court hasn’t responded yet, but at the moment he’s still in detention,” Galli told The Associated Press.
Lawyers for Adamov, who was originally arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. warrant, appealed May 17 against his detention on the basis that Switzerland violated his immunity as a former minister.
Lanny Breuer, Adamov’s American lawyer, told a news conference in Washington that the Swiss court found that Adamov’s arrest was illegal and violates Swiss and international law.
“This decision shows that without question that the Swiss courts are independent and have shown, in our view, great wisdom,” Breuer said. “The rule of law in Switzerland remains strong despite, in our view, the overreaching of the United States government and the United States Department of Justice.”
In Washington, Justice Department spokesman Bryan Sierra declined to comment on the ruling. He said the department does not “comment on extradition on specific cases.”
He referred questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Pittsburgh, Pa., which didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
At the request of the U.S., Adamov was arrested May 2 during a visit to his daughter in the Swiss capital Bern. He has since been indicted by a U.S. federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on conspiracy to transfer stolen money and securities, conspiracy to defraud the United States, money laundering and tax evasion.
The United States says he diverted up to $9 million from U.S. Energy Department funds intended to improve Russian nuclear security.
Russian authorities, concerned that he could divulge nuclear secrets if extradited to the United States, have demanded he be sent instead to Russia to face allegations concerning the illegal appropriation of money intended for nuclear security.
In Moscow the Russian Foreign Ministry and Prosecutor General’s Office declined to comment on the Swiss court ruling. The United States still has to file for Adamov’s extradition but has until June 30 to make an official request.
