Bright proposed excluding Russia from Interpol

The founder and head of the Hermitage Capital Foundation William Brighter called to suspend Russia's membership in Interpol for "glaring abuse" by the mechanisms of the work of this organization. The day before, the Moscow court sentenced him in absentia to 9 years in prison, after which Russia expressed the intention to send a request to arrest in an international organization.

The British financier on his Twitter published a link to TASS English -language note on the sentencing and indicated that this would already be the sixth request for his arrest from Russia. The previous five were rejected as illegitimate and politically determined, he emphasized. Russia must be excluded for "egregious abuse" by the mechanisms of the work of this organization, quotes Brauter "Radio Liberty" .

On the eve of the Tver, the Moscow court in absentia sentenced the head of the Hermitage Capital Foundation William Brauder to nine years in the colony, finding him guilty of intentional bankruptcy and tax evasion worth more than 3 billion rubles.

The Prosecutor General’s Office, in connection with the sending of a new request to Interpol, said that the organization may return to the issue of the extradition of the financier, taking into account new circumstances.
