Findings<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>9. For an appropriate study of the case, the Commission decided to study together the question of lack of description of criminal involvement and the extradition denial since they are interdependent and rely on the same factual allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"su-spoiler-title ec-fake-spoiler-heading u-indent-1\" id=\"section-v-a\">Extradition Denial and Clear Description of Criminal Involvement<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus h-toaccordion includetocloseall u-indent-2 su-spoiler-closed\" data-anchor=\"section-v-a-a\" data-scroll-offset=\"50\" data-anchor-in-url=\"yes\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><h4>a) The Applicant<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>10. The Applicant contended that there is a lack of criminal elements in this case. He was a shareholder of [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>11. Regarding the charges held against him, his name is always cited along with another person which shows that the investigative bodies, in bringing the Applicant to criminal responsibility found no specific actions on his part.<\/p>\n<p>12. He explained that [\u2026] was not part of his official powers. Similarly, [\u2026] employees who were independent from him and not his subordinates. [\u2026] the Applicant had one vote like the others. He neither influenced the other members nor was in a position to do so. Additionally, there is no information in the CCC proceedings to explain [\u2026] at what time and in what way.<\/p>\n<p>13. [\u2026] The Applicant, [\u2026] was not endowed with organizational and administrative functions and therefore could not exert any pressure on [\u2026] in making any decisions.<\/p>\n<p>14. On [date], the Applicant was arrested in DDD based on the Diffusion. On [date], his extradition to CCC was denied by the DDD Court. The Court considered that the CCC allegations remained unspecific and implausible. For instance, despite being invited to do so, CCC authorities did not answer the Applicant\u2019s demonstration during extradition proceedings that [\u2026]. The allegation that he stole documents to conceal his alleged criminal acts was also demonstrably false: on [date] during the [\u2026]. The above few examples of the manner in which CCC authorities attempted to construct an accusation against him demonstrate the existence of political character to the proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus h-toaccordion includetocloseall u-indent-2 su-spoiler-closed\" data-anchor=\"section-v-a-b\" data-scroll-offset=\"50\" data-anchor-in-url=\"yes\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><h4>b) The NCB of CCC (NCB source of the Data)<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>15. The NCB confirmed the validity of the proceedings and of the arrest warrant issued against the Applicant. On [date], the Applicant was formally charged under Articles [\u2026] of the CCC Criminal Code for embezzlement of the funds belonging to [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>16. The criminal scheme started between [date] in CCC when the Applicant created an organized criminal group which was joined by [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>17. From [date] to [date], with [\u2026], the Applicant charged some subordinates to [date]. Then, from [date] to [date] under the Applicant\u2019s direct supervision, [\u2026]. These funds were then used by the accomplices at their discretion.<\/p>\n<p>18. From [date] to [date], to conceal traces of the embezzlement and [\u2026], the Applicant and his accomplices created the appearance of [\u2026]. While doing so, the members of the organized group knew that [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>19. From [date] to [date], under the Applicant\u2019s guidance and supervision, the accomplices prepared documents [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>20. In [date], the Applicant [\u2026]. This is confirmed because on [date], only copies of the documents were seized and not the originals.<\/p>\n<p>21. The materials of the criminal case including the testimonies of three other accused individuals and more than six witnesses, as well as documents seized or provided by [\u2026] demonstrate that [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>22. The same elements of evidence confirm that the Applicant fully controlled [\u2026] financial and economic activity, from the nominations to the key posts, to [\u2026] because he possessed through the persons affiliated to him more than 50% of [\u2026] shares, was member of the Board of Directors and advisor to the Deputy Chairman of [\u2026]. Thanks to his strong position he ensured the vote of [\u2026] by misrepresenting [\u2026] and without conducting a real financial or economic report.<\/p>\n<p>23. While doing so, the Applicant knew that [\u2026].<\/p>\n<p>24. Regarding personal benefit, the NCB answered that sufficient data were received during the preliminary investigation to confirm the existence of the crime and the Applicant\u2019s involvement in the acts under investigation, which served as a ground for issuing a resolution to bring charges in compliance with CCC procedural law.<\/p>\n<p>25. On [date], the CCC sent DDD authorities a request for the Applicant\u2019s extradition. Between [date] and [date], nine additional answers and guarantees were sent in reply to the DDD.<\/p>\n<p>26. According to the verbal note of the DDD dated [date], the competent DDD court declared the extradition inadmissible because the description of the circumstances of the case set out in the procedural documents did not meet the requirements of the Rule of speciality, in accordance with [\u2026] Convention on Extradition of [date]. However, the specific grounds basing the DDD court \u2018s finding that the Rule of specialty would not be upheld are unclear. In this regard, a letter of disagreement was sent to the DDD on [date], with a request to reverse the decision, or provide more detailed reasons for the refusal, or still about the possibility to prosecute the Applicant in DDD.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus h-toaccordion includetocloseall u-indent-2 su-spoiler-closed\" data-anchor=\"section-v-a-c\" data-scroll-offset=\"50\" data-anchor-in-url=\"yes\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><h4>c) The NCB of DDD<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>27. The NCB of DDD confirmed that the Applicant was arrested on [date], in DDD on the basis of the INTERPOL Diffusion.<\/p>\n<p>28. On [date], the DDD court found the Applicant\u2019s extradition to CCC inadmissible as the CCC extradition request did not contain sufficient information on the offences with which the wanted person is charged in connection with the criminal proceedings conducted in CCC.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus h-toaccordion includetocloseall u-indent-2 su-spoiler-closed\" data-anchor=\"section-v-a-d\" data-scroll-offset=\"50\" data-anchor-in-url=\"yes\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><h4>d) Findings of the Commission<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>29. Based on the [date] extradition denial of the DDD Court, the Applicant challenged the validity of the Diffusion, arguing a lack of clear description of criminal involvement.<\/p>\n<p>30. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/europeancourt.org\/en\/documents\/interpol\/rules-processing-data\/#article-99\" title=\"Article 99 of INTERPOL\u2019s Rules on the Processing of Data\">Article 99(2) of the RPD<\/a>, the purpose of this Diffusion is not only to locate the Applicant, but also to request his provisional arrest in view of extradition. The information provided by the NCB of CCC, and confirmed by the NCB of DDD highlights that CCC authorities took steps to request the Applicant\u2019s extradition from DDD. Therefore, there is no reason to doubt that the Diffusion still has a valid purpose, and is compliant with applicable rules as described in <a href=\"#section-iv\" title=\"Section IV of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 8.2<\/a> above.<\/p>\n<p>31. The Commission studies the question of the lack of criminal elements, in accordance with the provisions under <a href=\"#section-iv\" title=\"Section IV of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 8.3<\/a>. On the one hand, the Applicant claims that there are clear elements, supported by the DDD court decision, that the allegations against him, as outlined in the Diffusion are not founded (paragraphs <a href=\"#section-v-a-a\" title=\"Section V.A.a of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">10<\/a> to <a href=\"#section-v-a-a\" title=\"Section V.A.a of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">14<\/a>). On the other hand, the NCB gives an account of the [\u2026] fraud, which the Applicant allegedly orchestrated (paragraphs <a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">16<\/a> to <a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">23<\/a>), and bases the charges on several elements of evidence, including testimonies of accused persons or victims and documents seized or provided during the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>32. The NCB\u2019s description of facts is very similar, if not identical, to the one provided to the DDD Court by CCC authorities during extradition proceedings. The said Court requested additional information from CCC authorities as stipulated by the NCB of CCC (<a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 25<\/a>). The Commission may be presented with more or less similar documents than those which the requested country for extradition may have received. Unlike the DDD courts, which may have the discretion to determine whether the CCC authorities have shown that the suspicion is reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances and the underling evidence prior to deciding on an extradition request, the Commission\u2019s role is limited to evaluating whether sufficient and coherent facts are provided to tie the Applicant to a charge of extremely large scale fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation.<\/p>\n<p>33. While the NCB did refer to a period of time during which [\u2026], the lack of specific dates of these events which should be reported in [\u2026] raise doubts as to the Applicant\u2019s involvement in the case. This issue is raised in the DDD Court \u2018s reasoning: \u2018Each of the [\u2026] constitutes an independent act both in the substantive and the procedural sense, The individual offences must be described in such specific and individualised terms that the realization of the objective and mental elements of the offence can be verified (\u2026). Since the [\u2026] had to approve the granting of the relevant [\u2026] agreements before [\u2026] could begin, the explanation of the facts should have contained information on which day the positive vote on the [\u2026] was taken.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>34. On the Applicant having played an influential role in the voting process (paragraphs <a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">17<\/a> and <a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">22<\/a>) there are no elements provided by the NCB to detail the manner in which he would have done so. This is mentioned in the DDD Court decision \u2018it should have been stated by which actions the prosecuted person induced the other [\u2026] members of the panel (whose names, moreover, were not stated) to agree to the award. The extradition documents only state that the other members had voted \u2018according to a verbal instruction\u2019 from the prosecuted person. It is neither explained when and to whom the corresponding instructions were issued nor in which form.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>35. The DDD decision further questioned how the Applicant knew that [\u2026], as it is alleged (<a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 18<\/a>), instead of [\u2026] and states that \u2018The reason given for this is that other prosecuted persons have confirmed that the prosecuted person had knowledge of [\u2026]. However, it is not indicated from what this knowledge results, for example from [\u2026] or from other circumstances.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>36. Concerning the fact that the Applicant [\u2026] to cover up his offence, the DDD courts received a similar statement from CCC authorities as the Commission (<a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 20<\/a>) and considered that this explanation was not a sufficiently supported response. Indeed the fact that [\u2026] does not provide concrete information in response to the Applicant\u2019s statement that [\u2026] (<a href=\"#section-v-a-a\" title=\"Section V.A.a of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>37. Regarding the additional claim to demonstrate the criminal nature of [\u2026], the NCB referred to the evidence in the case (<a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 21<\/a>) without giving more detailed explanations. This was also noted by the DDD Court which finds that: \u2018the CCC authorities merely referred in general terms to statements made by persons otherwise prosecuted and witnesses, as well as to documents seized from [\u2026], among others. Not even a summary elaboration was provided with regard to the content of these statements and findings. Stating the facts in this regard, or at least a statement on the prosecuted person\u2019s submission, would have been required, as the prosecuted had pointed out that the data for [\u2026] available from the government platform [\u2026] showed that the companies had actively engaged in [\u2026].\u2019<\/p>\n<p>38. Finally, the Commission underlines that the Applicant\u2019s direct personal gain was not clarified by the NCB, which merely states that there was sufficient evidence against the Applicant to issue the arrest warrant against him (<a href=\"#section-v-a-b\" title=\"Section V.A.b of INTERPOL\u2019s CCF Decision No. 1 (2023)\">paragraph 24<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>39. Under Article 99(2) of the RPD, the circulation of a Diffusion is conditioned on the provision of sufficient elements describing the criminal activity underlying the case, and the personal involvement of the wanted individual that would link him to the charges. In conducting its review, the Commission relies on the elements provided by the parties. This information must be concrete and specific in the sense that it must clearly identify the role of the Applicant, his specific criminal actions, the time and the means to commit the infraction. It should be precise, detailed and demonstrate, when relevant, a personal gain, benefit or the intention to commit the offence.<\/p>\n<p>40. Here considering the Commission\u2019s limited role, the elements provided by the NCB of CCC are not sufficient to demonstrate a clear characterization of the facts and possible criminal involvement of the Applicant, and prevent it from concluding that the challenged data meet the criteria stipulated in Articles <a href=\"https:\/\/europeancourt.org\/en\/documents\/interpol\/rules-processing-data\/#article-12\" title=\"Article 12 of INTERPOL\u2019s Rules on the Processing of Data\">12<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/europeancourt.org\/en\/documents\/interpol\/rules-processing-data\/#article-35\" title=\"Article 35 of INTERPOL\u2019s Rules on the Processing of Data\">35<\/a> and 99(2) of the RPD.<\/p>\n<p>41. Since the Commission could conclusively dispose of the matter in favor of the Applicant on the above basis, it did not consider the other elements of the request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-text-center\">For these reasons, the Commission<\/p>\n<p>Decides that the data concerning the Applicant are not compliant with INTERPOL\u2019s rules applicable to the processing of personal data, and that they shall be deleted from INTERPOL\u2019s files.<\/p>\n<p>Commission for the Control of INTERPOL\u2019s Files<\/p>\n<p>Secretariat to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL\u2019s Files<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script id=\"ec-fake-spoiler-scroll-fix\">\n(function(){\n  if (window.ecFakeSpoilerScrollFixReady) { return; }\n  window.ecFakeSpoilerScrollFixReady = true;\n  function hasClass(node, cls) {\n    if (!node) { return false; }\n    if (!node.classList) { return false; }\n    return node.classList.contains(cls);\n  }\n  function nextSpoiler(fake) {\n    var node = fake.nextElementSibling;\n    while (node) {\n      if (hasClass(node, \"su-spoiler\")) { return node; }\n      node = node.nextElementSibling;\n    }\n    return null;\n  }\n  function spoilerAnchor(spoiler) {\n    if (!spoiler) { return \"\"; }\n    if (spoiler.hasAttribute(\"data-anchor\")) { return spoiler.getAttribute(\"data-anchor\") || \"\"; }\n    if (spoiler.hasAttribute(\"id\")) { return spoiler.getAttribute(\"id\") || \"\"; }\n    return \"\";\n  }\n  function titleFor(spoiler) {\n    if (!spoiler) { return null; }\n    return spoiler.querySelector(\".su-spoiler-title\");\n  }\n  function clickTitle(spoiler) {\n    var title = titleFor(spoiler);\n    if (!title) { return; }\n    title.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(\"click\", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true, view: window }));\n  }\n  function ensureOpen(spoiler) {\n    if (!spoiler) { return; }\n    if (hasClass(spoiler, \"su-spoiler-closed\")) { clickTitle(spoiler); }\n  }\n  function offsetFor(spoiler) {\n    var value = \"\";\n    if (spoiler) {\n      if (spoiler.hasAttribute(\"data-scroll-offset\")) { value = spoiler.getAttribute(\"data-scroll-offset\") || \"\"; }\n    }\n    var parsed = parseInt(value, 10);\n    if (isNaN(parsed)) { return 50; }\n    return parsed;\n  }\n  function scrollToFake(fake, spoiler) {\n    var y = fake.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset - offsetFor(spoiler);\n    window.scrollTo(0, Math.max(0, y));\n  }\n  function handleHash() {\n    var raw = window.location.hash || \"\";\n    if (!raw) { return; }\n    var id = decodeURIComponent(raw.replace(\/^#\/, \"\"));\n    var fake = document.getElementById(id);\n    if (!hasClass(fake, \"ec-fake-spoiler-heading\")) { return; }\n    var spoiler = nextSpoiler(fake);\n    ensureOpen(spoiler);\n    setTimeout(function(){ scrollToFake(fake, spoiler); }, 0);\n  }\n  var headings = document.querySelectorAll(\".ec-fake-spoiler-heading\");\n  var spoilers = document.querySelectorAll(\".su-spoiler\");\n  for (var i = 0; i < headings.length; i += 1) {\n    var heading = headings.item(i);\n    var spoiler = nextSpoiler(heading);\n    spoilerAnchor(spoiler);\n    heading.setAttribute(\"tabindex\", \"0\");\n    heading.addEventListener(\"click\", function(event){\n      event.preventDefault();\n      clickTitle(nextSpoiler(this));\n    });\n    heading.addEventListener(\"keydown\", function(event){\n      if (event.key === \"Enter\") { event.preventDefault(); clickTitle(nextSpoiler(this)); }\n      if (event.key === \" \") { event.preventDefault(); clickTitle(nextSpoiler(this)); }\n    });\n  }\n  window.addEventListener(\"hashchange\", handleHash);\n  if (spoilers.length < 0) { return; }\n  if (document.readyState === \"loading\") {\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", handleHash);\n  } else {\n    handleHash();\n  }\n})();\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tags: Extradition; Description of criminal activitiesDecision: Not compliantData type: Diffusion Decision of the CommissionRequests Chamber Request concerning Aaa BBB (Ref.
