The Government of Cambodia deported the businessman Sergei Polonsky to Russia, for he is suspected of the embezzlement of funds of participants of shared construction of residential complexes, as a source in the local law enforcement agencies reported to TASS.

      According to the agency’s interlocutor, the plane with Polonsky and Russian police staff on board flew to Moscow. The representative of the Russian embassy in Phnom Penh confirmed that diplomats had already received a note on the deportation of the businessman for violation of immigration laws. Polonsky was detained two days earlier on his yacht near the coast of Sihanoukville. The immigration office of Cambodia accused the businessman of violating visa regulations - his visa has supposedly expired more than two years ago. The owner of the development company “Mirax Group” Sergei Polonsky was one of the most successful Russian businessmen before the financial crisis of 2008, during which he lost a substantial share of the capital and began to conflict with the structures of Rotenberg brothers and the government of Moscow. In 2012 Polonsky moved to Cambodia where, according to his lawyer, he was given a local passport. In Russia he is accused of embezzlement of 5.7 billion roubles in the construction of residential complex “Kutuzovskaya Milya”.
