The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation has granted the request of the Ministry of Justice of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria for extradition of a foreign citizen H.A. Mohammed Abushavereb, who was found guilty of fraud by the Bir Mourad Rais court.
In the period from 2011 to 2012, as the owner of a construction company in Algeria, Mohammed Abushavereb forged documents and used them to steal funds from the Agency for the Promotion and Management of Real Estate in the province of Blida and the local branch of Arab Bank, totaling more than 48 million Algerian dinars. He also forged and used the seal of Sarl Biotech and the personal seal and signature of the company’s manager.
Abushavereb had previously been prosecuted in the Russian Federation. In May 2019, the Savelovskiy District Court of Moscow convicted him under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud) and sentenced him to 6 years’ imprisonment.
The decision of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia on extradition was made after serving the sentence of the Russian court. In this regard, the Federal Penitentiary Service, in cooperation with the National Central Bureau of Interpol of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, was instructed to transfer him to representatives of law enforcement authorities of Algeria.
The procedure was made possible thanks to cooperation between the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Justice of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, as well as the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
