| Interpol puts Ukraine ex-leader on wanted list |
| 2015-01-13 |
| [TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Viktor Yanukovych, the former Ukrainian president who was ousted in a revolution last February. Mr Yanukovych, 64, is wanted on charges of embezzlement and financial wrongdoing, according to a notice posted on the organization's website on Monday. Ukraine says the so-called red notice allows any police force in the world to apprehend Mr Yanukovych, who has been living in Russia since his overthrow nearly a year ago. Ukrainian authorities accuse Mr Yanukovych of presiding over a culture of systematic corruption that enriched a small circle of relatives and close associates during his four years in power. |
