Dmytro Konovalenko has an impressive track record of annulling Red Notices and mitigating the consequences of sanctions misuse. Notable successes include securing the removal of a Red Notice against a Ukrainian Parliament member wrongfully accused of bribery by Belarus, and demonstrating the political abuse of INTERPOL in a case involving an Austrian businessman pursued by Russia over a commercial dispute.
