Are Russian economic crime charges treated differently by Interpol than other offences?

Economic crimes—fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion—constitute the majority of Russian Red Notice requests and receive particular scrutiny from the CCF. Interpol recognizes that commercial disputes are frequently criminalized in Russia to pressure business opponents, and the CCF has developed substantial jurisprudence on distinguishing legitimate prosecutions from instrumentalized cases. Demonstrating that the underlying matter is civil or contractual in nature, that selective prosecution occurred, or that the case emerged from corporate raiding significantly increases deletion success rates. Documentary evidence of the business dispute’s origins proves essential in these applications.
