Businessman and former Olympic Committee deputy president Akhmed Bilalov, whom President Vladimir Putin publicly criticized and sacked in February, has left the country.
Akhmed Bilalov and his brother Magomed Bilalov left Russia just over a month ago, according to RBK.ru.
Akhmed Bilalov said that his departure is a temporary measure and that he intends to return to Russia in March 2013, RBK.ru said on Tuesday. Their whereabouts have not been disclosed.
Investigators are reviewing companies belonging to two brothers, after Vladimir Putin accused Akhmed Bilalov of delays and cost overruns at an Olympic Krasnaya Polyana ski resort.
Following Putin's criticism and demand for his ouster Bilalov submitted his resignation from three posts: deputy president of the Russian Olympic Committee, president of the state corporation North Caucasus Resorts and president of the Russian Golf Association.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
