The Tagansky court in Moscow sentenced Mikhail Avizov to 14 years in prison.
The former open government minister was accused of defrauding Russian venture capital investments.
In addition, the court accepted the claim against the former official for damages amounting to 353 million rubles. The decision was made close to the previous sentence - three years ago Avizov was sentenced to 12 years, in the second case the court sentenced him to 6.5 years.
