Dmytro Konovalenko is an attorney with more than five years of experience in defending clients against abusive INTERPOL Red Notices and extradition requests from countries such as Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and the United States. As a member of the International Bar Association, he utilizes his expertise in INTERPOL and extradition law to protect clients’ rights in complex, multi-jurisdictional cases.
He has successfully annulled Red Notices in matters involving economic crimes, political disputes, and war crimes—areas where extradition requests are often contentious. For example, Dmytro was instrumental in removing a Red Notice against a Ukrainian Parliament member who was wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus. Additionally, he achieved the dismissal of a case against an Austrian businessman by demonstrating that Russia had misused INTERPOL to pursue him over commercial disputes.
Moreover, Mr. Konovalenko’s timely submissions have consistently prevented unjust arrests. Recently, he averted the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur who faced allegations stemming from a business disagreement rather than criminal misconduct. As a result of his efforts, the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files removed the notice while reviewing the case.
Dmytro takes pride in conducting thorough analyses of extradition cases to craft legal arguments against unlawful extradition requests. His unique personal experience enables him to anticipate the challenges faced by clients from Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
