Today, upon request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Spain have extradited Russian citizen Alexander Dereka to Russia.
The investigative authorities charged him with the commission of crimes enshrined in Article 159, part 4 (fraud, i.e. misappropriation of other people’s property committed by means of deception and abuse of trust on especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
It was established that from October 2004 to September 2005, A.Dereka headed the Krasnodar Regional Public Fund “Nash Gorod”, offering to socially vulnerable citizens to purchase residential apartments at low prices according to a governor’s program. Having no powers ex officio and having no intention to fulfill his promises, A.Dereka stole money of several citizens in the amount of RUB 13 million, which he used at his own discretion.
The criminal case against A.Dereka is under investigation by the Investigative Department under the Department of Internal Affairs of the city of Krasnodar. In November 2005, A.Deraka was put on federal wanted list and in March 2007 - on international wanted list.
In October 2008, he was located on the territory of Spain; at the same time the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation submitted a request for his extradition to the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain.
Due to the close and well-tuned co-operation between the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain, in June 2009 the Spanish authorities decided to satisfy the request for extradition of A.Dereka to the Russian Federation for criminal prosecution.
Today, A.Dereka has been extradited to Russia under the escort of the Russian Interpol Bureau and the Federal Penitentiary Service officers.
