MOSCOW, June 21. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s Investigative Committee has put on an international wanted list Ukrainian parliament-appointed Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and businessman, Dnepropetrovsk Region governor Igor Kolomoisky, Russian Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said Saturday. Markin told Itar-Tass that in the framework of a criminal case on the use of banned means and methods of warfare, aggravated murder, hindrance to the professional activity of journalists and abductions of people in eastern Ukraine, investigators issued a resolution on putting Arsen Avakov and Igor Kolomoisky on a wanted list. “The resolution was sent to the Main Criminal Investigation Department of the Russian Interior Ministry. Avakov and Kolomoisky were put on an international wanted list, effective on the territory of all Interpol member states,” he said. In line with the current procedure, the Interior Ministry formalizes the procedure to put persons on a wanted list by sending materials via the Interpol’s National Central Bureau (NCB) of the Russian Interior Ministry to the Interpol Lyon HQ database or in line with the Minsk extradition convention signed by members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS, a loose association of former Soviet republics). Markin also said that over 1,000 residents of Ukraine’s embattled eastern regions have filed applications to Russian investigators for the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
