The commissioner’s report said that Adamov had received cash payments through a third party from Omeka, a US private company that provides consulting services to the ministry. Adamov is registered as Omeka’s chief executive. the report also questions the legality of a deal between the nuclear technology institute Nikiet and Iran during Adamov’s tenure at Nikiet.
