Member of parliament of III-VIII convocations Kostiantyn Zhevaho was not put on the international wanted list, the press service of the ex-MP said on July 15.
“The legal office of Kostiantyn Zhevaho knows that the Ukrainian bureau of Interpol filed a request to put him on the international wanted list. This was a continuation of the illegal criminal prosecution against the entrepreneur. According to the press service and lawyers of Mr. Zhevaho, today there is no official confirmation of this statement from Interpol,” the office said in a statement forwarded to Interfax-Ukraine.
Interpol is currently considering Zhevaho’s case, but the final decision has not yet been made on it.
“The request of the Ukrainian Bureau of Interpol was sent to the central office of the organization back in October last year. The duration of its consideration indicates that the arguments presented in the document are not convincing and require careful study,” the press service of the ex-MP said.
The State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) said on July 15 that Interpol declared Zhevaho as the one put on the international wanted list.
“On September 27, 2019, the former MP was notified of suspicion. He, as the former owner of Finance and Credit Bank, organized the embezzlement of $113 million of this financial institution,” the press service of the SBI said.
