Interpol puts Ukraine ex-leader on wanted list
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Viktor Yanukovych, the former Ukrainian president who was ousted in a revolution last February.Mr Yanukovych, 64, is wanted on charges of embezzlement and financial wrongdoing, according to a notice posted on the organization's website on Monday. Ukraine says the so-called red notice allows any police force in the world to apprehend Mr Yanukovych, who has been living in Russia since his overthrow nearly a year ago. Ukrainian authorities accuse Mr Yanukovych of presiding over a culture of systematic corruption that enriched a small circle of relatives and close associates during his four years in power.
