Interpol’s activities today are largely politicized. This was announced today, November 1, by the Prosecutor General of Belarus, Andrei Shved.
In his words, some problematic issues arise in the department’s work at the international level.
“As for the details, it should be noted that one of the problematic issues is the work of Interpol. Today, the activities of this international structure, which is designed to help law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime, are largely politicized. We see it, we understand it and today, among other things, joint measures will be developed to overcome the negative consequences that have developed in the activities of this structure.” — he said at the meeting of the joint board of directors of the Prosecutor General’s Offices of Belarus and Russia.
At the same time, he noted that for Belarus “interaction with Russian law enforcement agencies within the framework of the Treaty of CIS Member States on Interstate Search for Persons remains relevant.”
“Every year, more than a thousand criminals wanted by the internal affairs bodies of Belarus are identified on the territory of Russia,” – pointed out the Swede.
The head of the Belarusian supervisory agency also stressed that “finding a person and bringing him to justice is the best crime prevention measure, because the principle of inevitability of punishment is guaranteed.”
“On the other hand, criminals who remain free for a long time tend to commit other crimes. Therefore, the issue of searching for accused and convicted persons who have fled criminal persecution and the court is an issue that is under constant control of the prosecutor’s office. We coordinate the work of all interested government agencies, primarily law enforcement agencies. “So that the measures are effective and quick, and these people are brought to justice as quickly as possible and receive the punishment they deserve,” – stated the Prosecutor General of Belarus.
Let us remember that Belarus and Russia have been building the Union State since 1999. The parties actively cooperate in various areas, including the fight against crime.
