Dmytro Konovalenko

Dmytro Konovalenko is an attorney with over five years of experience in defending clients against abusive INTERPOL Red Notices and extradition requests from countries including Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and the United States. As a member of the International Bar Association, he utilizes his expertise in INTERPOL and extradition law to safeguard clients’ rights in complex, multi-jurisdictional cases.

He has successfully annulled Red Notices in cases of economic crimes, political disputes, and war crimes – areas where extradition requests are often contentious. For instance, he achieved the removal of a Red Notice against a Ukrainian Parliament member who was wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus. Additionally, he managed to have the case against an Austrian businessman dropped after demonstrating that Russia had misused INTERPOL to prosecute him over commercial disputes.

Furthermore, his timely submissions have consistently prevented unjust arrests. Recently, he averted the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur facing allegations arising from a business disagreement, rather than criminal misconduct. Due to his efforts, the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL Files removed the notice while reviewing the case.

He takes pride in conducting thorough analyses of extradition cases to develop comprehensive legal arguments against unlawful extradition requests. His unique personal experience enables him to foresee the challenges faced by clients from Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
