Dmytro Konovalenko is an attorney-at-law whose work centres on Interpol and extradition law. He defends clients facing Red Notices, international wanted notices and extradition requests issued by Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, the United States and other countries. He is a member of the International Bar Association (IBA).
Defence against Red Notices and extradition requests
His practice covers both sides of an international search: challenging Red Notices that are already in place and acting early, before a search takes hold. He has experience with preventive measures aimed at blocking an international search at its initial stages, and he specialises in the defence in cases of economic, political and war crimes.
Selected matters
- Obtained the cancellation of Red Notices in cases of economic crimes, political disputes and war crimes.
- Secured the removal of a Red Notice against a member of the Ukrainian Parliament wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus.
- Had the case against an Austrian businessman dropped after showing that Russia had misused INTERPOL to pursue him over commercial disputes.
- Prevented the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur facing allegations arising from a business dispute rather than criminal conduct; the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) removed the notice while reviewing the case.
Acting before an arrest
Timely filings in his cases have repeatedly prevented unjust arrests. Dmytro Konovalenko works with clients from Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas. He is admitted to the Bar as an attorney-at-law and holds Certificate to practise law No. 001156.
