MOSCOW. Nov 18 (Interfax) - Interpol may accept reasons by Russian investigators and revise its position on declaring businessman William Browder internationally wanted, an agreement on which was reached recently at negotiations between a delegation of Russian law enforcement officials and the Interpol leadership in Lyon, a source familiar with the situation told Interfax.
"Ronald Noble, the secretary-general of the international police organization, assured the Russian counterparts that he was prepared to consider their objections regarding political motives of the Browder case if such are presented," the source said.
The Russian authorities suspect Browder, who is currently living in London, of major fraud with Gazprom shares.
"The parties agreed that Russian investigators would forward their objections after they receive the rationale of the preliminary decision on refusing a search for Browder. Interpol will closely examine them and will determine its final position," the source said.
