Interpol stopped the search for the leader of the art group "War" by Oleg Vorotnikov (thief) initiated by Russia. As reported on the Svobodnaya War website, the lawyers of the group were reported to the international police organization.
Russia's claims to Vorotnikov were considered politically motivated.
The card of the “war” was removed from the organization’s website.
In July 2011, the Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburgarrested Vorotnikov in absentia in the case of an attack on police officers with urine during the Strategy-31 campaign in March of the same year. After that, Russia applied to Interpol with a request for an international search for an activist. However, the “free“ war ”notes, the request was in violation of the rule: Interpol obliges to submit weighty evidence that the wanted person is outside the country on the wanted list. Meanwhile, the collars were hiding in Russia all in Russia, and it is alleged only next year, and it was known about the emigration of the thief and other war activists only in March 2013 .
After that, Russia submitted a new request to Interpol. In total, Vorotnikov was charged with three episodes of hooliganism (Article 213 of the Criminal Code), as well as the insult and application of non -hazardous violence to the representative of the authorities (articles, respectively 319 and 318). In addition to the attack with the urine, the activist is charged with the holding of the "Palace Count" and "Mento-Auto-da-Fe, or Fucking Prometheus." The first of them took place in September 2010 - then the activists of the "War" turned over several police cars. The second was held on the night of December 31, 2011 to January 1, 2012 - a car Zakak was set on fire at the police department.
At the new request of collars in September 2016, he was arrested in Prague . However, in the future, the emigrant was released on a recognizance not to leave. The Prosecutor General of Russia at least twice turned to the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic with a demand to issue Vorotnikov; The last request became known on July 14 of this year.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Justice of the Czech Republic Robert Pelican at the beginning of last month personally assured the emigrant that he would not allow him to be issued to Russia.
As noted, before arriving in the Czech Republic, the collars were arrested three times by the authorities of European countries at the request of Russia. On July 27, 2014, he was arrested in Venice, and on March 20 and 29, 2016 in Basel. However, in the end, each time Russia received a refusal to issue a “war” leader.
In April 2014, Vorotnikovrefused to participate in the Amsterdam festival of Openborder , referring to the "anti -Russian" position of its organizers. The dissatisfaction of the emigrant caused the following passage from the press release of the event: "Russia has carried out armed intervention in the Crimea, Ukraine. And independent media in Russia has currently closed or changed its directions (" rain ", Lenta.ru, etc.). Information within Russia is more and more directed towards political propaganda, censorship and total curtains, as at the time of iron curtains."
