Russia Puts Browder on Interpol Wanted List, Blocking Travel
- U.S. Homeland Security alerted Browder to revoked visa
- Browder can’t travel until Interpol overturns Russia request
Hermitage Capital Management founder William Browder said Russia put him on Interpol’s wanted list last week, its latest move to undermine the American-born fund manager’s global campaign against Russia over the death of his legal and tax adviser Sergei Magnitsky.
Browder, a British citizen since giving up his U.S. citizenship in 1998, said he’d received an email from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security notifying him his “global entry status” had been removed. He also found out his visa waiver for the U.S. had been revoked after Russia added him to the Interpol list using a loophole known as a “diffusion notice,” which allows countries to issue arrest warrants unilaterally without vetting from the organization. Interpol rejected four previous Russian attempts to put Browder on its wanted list.
