Representation of interests of a foreign businessman, who was placed into custody under an Interpol warrant in connection with him being accused of crimes in his country of origin. A motivated comparative study of the Russian legislation and the legislation of the foreign state was submitted to the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia. As a result, it was proven that: certain corpus delicti, which the businessman had been charged with in his country of origin, are not corpus delicti in Russia; another party of those was to be qualified under the penal law of the Russian Federation in force at the moment of committing the crimes, the limitation period for which was expired at the moment of consideration of the extradition request. As a result, the extradition of the businessman to the country of origin was refused and he was set free from the pre-trial prison.
