Kasyanov had been on vacation at an unknown destination outside the country since prosecutors announced the probe. Though he has denied any wrongdoing, there had been speculation he would stay abroad for fear of prosecution.
The Prosecutor-General's Office opened a criminal case earlier this month into the transactions after a parliamentary deputy in the pro- Kremlin United Russia party demanded an investigation.
Opposition politicians say the case against Kasyanov, who has hinted at ambitions of becoming a presidential contender, is a Kremlin warning to him to stay out of politics.
