Post-playing career and fraud conviction
From 2013 to 2015 he served as an executive director of the Russian Basketball Federation and a general manager of the Russia men's national basketball team.
In August 2015, Andrei Kirilenko was elected as the president of the federation and ordered a financial audit of their budget. As a consequence of that audit, Domani was charged with fraud. According to the first charge, the federation was paying for events and banquets in their office that were not actually held (according to invoices, events with 200 attendees were held in a 40 m2 room), with the money being kicked back to Domani and other federation managers. The second charge was paying for booklets and souvenirs that were not actually produced, and the third charge was signing a contract for medical examinations of the federation's employees with a person who did not have a medical license and did not perform any examinations. Domani left Russia for the United States, was eventually arrested in Montenegro in October 2017 and extradited to Russia in October 2018. On 17 October 2019, he was sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment for fraud, even though the prosecution only asked for a 3.5-years sentence. On 28 May 2020, his sentence was reduced to 4 years, making him eligible for parole.
