Former Vice-President of the National Nuclear Energy Company (KazatomProm) of Kazakhstan Rustam Tursumbayev has been arrested in Canada. Tursumbayev had been under persecution and was charged with confiscating more than 20 million dollars, reports Newsru.ru.

Tursumbayev, 49, wasn't arrested for being under persecution, but for breaching the laws on immigration, reports the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.

According to the source, Kazakhstan suspects Tursumbayev of several crimes, including creating groups of bandits to commit theft, avoiding taxes, creating false documents and passports and committing other crimes.
