"We've tried several times, since he's been on an international wanted list since 2019. The Interpol red notice is still in effect and is listed in the relevant database."
"As for the new charges against him, it is a rather meticulous process that must go through the Office of the Prosecutor General and the Interpol Records Control Commission. We are currently submitting this information," he said.
According to Tsutsikiridze, they have contacted the countries where the leader of "Khimprom" is located on several occasions.
"At the same time, these countries replied, 'Give us a specific location or address, and then we'll find him,'" he added.
National Police Chief Ivan Vyhovsky reported that the leader of "Khimprom" goes by the nickname "The Mexican" and is a Russian citizen. He is currently in Mexico.
