Bech was detained in the village where his daughter lives.
Anna's mother Nadezhda Uimanova, 30, now lives with another man.
But reports say he is now likely to face an additional four years after absconding.
And he will be forced to pay for the costs of the searches to find him if a legal action by the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service is successful.
