Russia may declare Hermitage Capital co-founder Browder internationally wanted - Interior Ministry

MOSCOW. April 17 (Interfax) - If an arrest warrant in absentia is issued on Hermitage Capital co-founder William Browder, he will be placed on the international wanted list, the Russian Interior Ministry told Interfax.

"As the accused Browder is evading arriving for investigative procedures, even though he has been notified about this necessity using various methods, the investigation has filed a request with a court on considering his arrest in absentia as a pretrial restrictive measure," it said.

"If a court grants this request, the mechanism of declaring Browder internationally wanted will be launched," it said.
