At the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, the competent authorities of Montenegro will extradite Yevgeny Dorofeyev to face criminal charges under Part 2 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in a criminal community), Part 4 of Article 159.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud in the insurance sector), and Part 2 of Article 309 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (coercing a witness to give false testimony).
According to the investigation, from January 2018 to August 2022, Evgeny Dorofeev was part of an organized group that operated in Ulyanovsk under the leadership of Maxim Chemidronov. The participants staged traffic accidents, after which they drew up relevant documents and received payments due to the alleged occurrence of insurance events. In addition, Dorofeev, under threat of violence, persuaded a witness who could incriminate him to give false testimony.
Previously, the members of the criminal group, including the organizer, were brought to criminal responsibility. However, Dorofeev managed to abscond from law enforcement agencies. A preventive measure in the form of detention was imposed upon him in absentia, and in December 2022 he was put on the international wanted list.
The extradition request was sent in January of this year in connection with Dorofeev’s detention in Podgorica, Montenegro.
Thanks to the coordinated actions of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and organized interaction with the competent authorities of Montenegro, it was possible to achieve a positive decision on his extradition.
Accompanied by the officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the National Central Bureau of Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the accused will be delivered in transit through Turkey to Moscow.
