Today, on April 11, 2014, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation the competent authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany are extraditing Russian citizen Oleg Shreder. Investigative agencies accuse him of committing 13 crimes, referred to in article 159 paragraph 3 (swindling in big amount ) and 25 crimes referred to in article 159 paragraph 4 (swindling in especially big amount) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. 

The criminal case against Shreder is pending by the Investigation Department of the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Kaliningrad Oblast. 

The investigations revealed that during the period since June 2011 till March 2012 Shreder convinced citizens of the need to obtain consumer loans, auto loans by false pretences and abuse of trust. The misguided persons obtained money, which they gave to Shreder, purchased cars, proxies for disposition of which they also gave to the stated person. The latter, knowing that cars were a collateralized property and payment obligations to the banks have not been fulfilled, illegally sold these cars, and used the received funds at his sole discretion. 39 persons suffered from Shreder's criminal acts. 

As the accused had fled from prosecution, in May 2012 he was put on a federal wanted list, and in October 2013 he was put on an international wanted list. 

As the result of investigations Shreder was detained within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany in July 2013. 

In August 2013 the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation sent a request for his extradition to the Federal Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Germany, this request was satisfied in March 2014. 

Today Oleg Shreder, escorted by officials of Federal Penitentiary Service and those of Interpol Bureau of Russian, will be extradited to Russia.
