GENEVA, September 8 (RIA Novosti, Yekaterina Andrianova) - The Swiss authorities prohibited Russian ex-Nuclear Power Minister Yevgeny Adamov from speaking to relatives over the phone Thursday after his unsanctioned telephone interview with the Ekho Moskvy radio.

Adamov is currently in a Bern prison, in Switzerland pending decisions on Russian an American extradition requests.

Folco Galli, the spokesman for the Swiss Justice Department, said Adamov abused his freedoms and the Swiss authorities cannot trust him.

However, Galli said the prohibition could be temporary and Adamov may be permitted telephone conversations with relatives again under supervision.

The interview with Adamov was broadcast live on Ekho Moskvy on Tuesday, September 6.

Adamov was the Russian nuclear minister from 1998-2001.
