RUSSIA
Russian Prosecutor Assails Interpol For Refusing To Issue Browder Warrant
August 25, 2017 00:23 GMT
William Browder
The Russian Prosecutor-General's Office has objected to Interpols latest refusal to put British-American investor William Browder on an international wanted list, Russias state-run TASS news agency reports.
TASS reported on August 24 that the Russian Interior Ministry in June 2017 sent a so-called "red notice" to Interpol requesting it issue an arrest warrant in connection with Browder's prosecution for conventional crimes.
Nevertheless, [Interpol] refused to put him on the wanted list, citing its previous decision, the prosecutors office said, adding that it has made its objections known to Interpol.
The Council of Europe this year sharply criticized previous Russian attempts to seek Browder's arrest through Interpol, calling the efforts "abuses" of the system by states pursuing "political goals."
