Dmytro Konovalenko

Dmytro Konovalenko is an attorney with more than five years of experience who specializes in defending clients against the abuse of Interpol Red Notices and extradition requests from countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and the USA. As a member of the International Bar Association, he applies his expertise in Interpol and extradition law to protect clients’ rights in complex cases spanning multiple jurisdictions.

He has secured the cancellation of Red Notices in areas such as economic crimes, political disputes and war crimes, where extradition requests are often contested. For example, he obtained the cancellation of a Red Notice against a member of the Ukrainian parliament who had been wrongly accused of bribery in Belarus. He also achieved the closure of proceedings against an Austrian businessman by proving that Russia had misused Interpol to pursue commercial disputes against him.

Documents he filed in good time have repeatedly prevented unjust arrests. Recently, he prevented the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur who faced charges arising from commercial disputes rather than criminal acts. Thanks to his efforts, the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files cancelled the relevant notice when reviewing the case.

He takes pride in carefully analysing extradition cases and building comprehensive legal arguments against unlawful extradition requests. His unique personal experience allows him to anticipate the challenges faced by clients from Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas.
