US: Russian Nuclear Official Pleads Guilty to Money Laundering

11:03, September 3, 2015

A former Russian nuclear official has pleaded guilty in the United States to conspiracy to launder more than US$ 2 million in an elaborate bribery scheme in which contracts were awarded improperly.

Maryland resident Vadim Mikerin stands accused of arranging more than US$ 2 million in corrupt payments to help US companies win contracts with Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear company.

Mikerin, 56, was arrested in late October 2014. He was an executive at the Maryland-based Tenam, a subsidiary of Tenex, which is owned by Rosatom.

Tenex supplies uranium and enrichment services to nuclear power companies globally.
