Russia Abuses Interpol Channels with an ‘All Points Bulletin’ For William Browder in Retaliation for Magnitsky Act

May 20, 2013

On 7 May 2013, the Russ­ian Inte­ri­or Min­istry issued a for­mal request to Inter­pol to issue an ‘All Points Bul­letin’ to locate William Brow­der, CEO of Her­mitage Cap­i­tal Man­age­ment and leader of the jus­tice for Sergei Mag­nit­sky campaign. 

“The Russ­ian author­i­ties seek to involve Inter­pol in an abu­sive, and polit­i­cal­ly moti­vat­ed attack on Mr Brow­der. Any­one offer­ing the Russ­ian Inte­ri­or Min­istry sup­port, or in any way pro­cess­ing their request in rela­tion to Mr Brow­der, will become part and par­cel of Mr Putin’s polit­i­cal vendet­ta against Mr Brow­der and attempts to cov­er up the mur­der of Sergei Mag­nit­sky,” said a Her­mitage Cap­i­tal rep­re­sen­ta­tive.

Как стало известно сегодня, еще 7 мая 2013 года Национальное бюро Интерпола России, входящее в состав МВД России, направило запрос в страны-члены Интерпола с просьбой «сообщить» о местонахождении Уильяма Браудера с целью его задержания на границе и создания препятствий для его международной кампании по введению санкций в отношении коррумпированных российских чиновников по всему миру.

«Своим решением задействовать каналы международной организации Интерпол сотрудники МВД нарушили основополагающие принципы деятельности этой организации и ее Конституции, запрещающей использование Интерпола в политически мотивированных преследованиях людей», — сказал представитель Her­mitage Cap­i­tal.
