Russian Media Report Governor's Arrest By VOA News 23 May 2006 Russian news reports say police have arrested the governor of a mineral-rich region on suspicion of embezzlement. The reports say Alexi Barinov, governor of the Nenets autonomous region in Russia's Arctic, is in police custody and has begun a hunger strike. Prosecutors reportedly opened a case against Barinov last week. The suspect was previously the chief executive officer for a unit of the oil company Lukoil. Barinov said last week that while at Lukoil prosecutors had dropped a criminal case against him for lack of evidence. The RIA-Novosti news service says the probe centers on allegations that Barinov used his post at Lukoil to purchase several apartments illegally through the company. A Barinov spokesman has denied the charges. Some information for this report was provided by Reuters. This story originally ran at VOANews.com This story was originally posted here.
