Former Russian State Duma MP Ashot Yeghiazaryan, who is deprived of
immunity and accused of fraud amounting to more than 1.5 billion RUB,
says being included in an international wanted list is illegal.
In his opinion, Russia's Criminal Investigation Department has no
reason to transfer his case to Interpol, and the court's ruling on
absentee arrest "openly contradicts the humane principles of the
justice system voiced by the president of Russia, as well as the
amendments to Russia's Criminal Code in relation to economic crime."
A statement sent by Yeghiazaryan's press service to Interfax news
agency notes that the court ruling was appealed and has not come into
legal force, and "in the absence of a lawful court order to arrest
Interpol is not authorized to pursue the case."
