Dmytro Konovalenko
Dmytro Konovalenko is a Senior Partner and attorney-at-law admitted to the Bar, holding Certificate to practise law No. 001156. His practice centres on INTERPOL and extradition law: he defends clients against abusive Red Notices, international wanted notices and extradition requests issued by countries including Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and the United States.
Red Notice and extradition defence
He challenges abusive Red Notices and extradition requests and has obtained the cancellation of Red Notices in cases concerning economic crimes, political disputes and war crimes. He specialises in the defence in cases of economic, political and war crimes, and his work includes preventive measures intended to block an international search at its initial stages.
Selected matters
- Removal of a Red Notice against a member of the Ukrainian Parliament wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus.
- Termination of the case against an Austrian businessman after showing that Russia had misused INTERPOL to pursue him over commercial disputes.
- Prevention of the extradition of a Kenyan entrepreneur facing allegations arising from a business dispute rather than criminal conduct; the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) removed the notice while reviewing the case.
- Timely filings that have repeatedly prevented unjust arrests.
Professional standing and clients
Dmytro Konovalenko is a member of the International Bar Association (IBA). He represents clients from Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas who are the subject of an INTERPOL notice or a foreign extradition request, with an emphasis on acting early, before a notice or request results in detention.
