Senior Associate Dmitri Teplõhh successfully represented Aleksandr Dmitriev, the former manager of AK BARS Bank’s Omsk branch and a former member of Omsk City Council, in a lawsuit in which, on 20 November 2013, Tallinn Administrative Court annulled the directive of the Ministry of Justice on the extradition of our client to Russia.
“We’re very pleased with the judgment,” Teplõhh said. “Hopefully the Minister of Justice will acknowledge that the extradition request was about political persecution rather than bringing criminal charges against my client.”
