Anatoly Yarovyi: Extradition Lawyer Profile for US-Linked Cases

A US-linked INTERPOL case in 2026 does not look the way most people expect. There is no single authority, no clean process, and no obvious place to turn. What there is: a US federal conviction sitting in the background, another jurisdiction running a parallel criminal proceeding, and a person caught in the middle — formally recognized as a victim in one country while facing accusations in another. This is the real picture, and it is exactly the kind of situation where a specialist extradition and INTERPOL lawyer becomes essential, not optional.

If you have been searching for Anatoly Yarovyi as an extradition lawyer with experience in US-connected international matters, the profile is worth examining closely. The official spelling is Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi, Senior Partner at the Collegium of International Lawyers. His practice focuses on cross-border criminal exposure, INTERPOL-related proceedings, and extradition defense — including cases where US prosecutors, US courts, or US agency findings are central to the picture.

What a US-Linked INTERPOL Case Actually Looks Like

The intersection of US federal law and INTERPOL channels creates a specific kind of legal vulnerability. A client may have cooperated with US authorities, been formally recognized as a victim in a US case, or had no meaningful connection to a US prosecution — and still find that another INTERPOL member state has initiated proceedings against them using the same underlying facts.

This is not hypothetical. In 2023, Pablo Renato Rodriguez, co-founder of the AirBit Club cryptocurrency scheme, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The US Department of Justice formally recognized a group of individuals as victims of the scheme. Yet some of those same individuals subsequently faced criminal proceedings in other jurisdictions — accused, not recognized — in connection with the same events. The mechanism was INTERPOL. The risk was global detention.

The legal team at Collegium of International Lawyers responded with a pre-emptive request to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF). The filing argued conflict of jurisdiction and potential misuse of INTERPOL channels, emphasizing the core contradiction: a person formally classified as a victim by the US DOJ cannot credibly be prosecuted as a perpetrator in another country on the same factual foundation. The CCF implemented temporary measures, restricting access to the relevant INTERPOL data while the matter was under review. The interim protections stopped the escalation before a Red Notice could be published or acted upon.

Why the Timing of Legal Intervention Matters

One of the clearest lessons from cases like AirBit Club is that waiting for a Red Notice to appear before acting is a costly mistake. By the time a notice becomes visible — through a border crossing, a background check, or an official notification — the procedural damage may already be significant. Travel is restricted. Business is disrupted. And the legal record has already been framed by the requesting state.

Pre-emptive requests to the CCF exist precisely to address this. They allow a lawyer to establish a factual and legal record before member states begin exchanging data, before notices are published, and before a client's freedom of movement is curtailed. The window for effective early action is narrow. It depends on accurate intelligence about what is being filed, where, and under what legal theory — and then acting before that process locks in.

This type of anticipatory strategy requires genuine familiarity with both the INTERPOL framework and the specific jurisdictions involved. When a US federal record is part of the picture, understanding how DOJ findings interact with foreign criminal proceedings is not background knowledge — it is the foundation of the legal argument.

The Profile of Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi

Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi holds a Doctor of Law degree and a Master's in Law from both Lviv University and Stanford University. He was among the candidates considered for a judgeship at the European Court of Human Rights. His practice at Collegium of International Lawyers covers INTERPOL proceedings, extradition defense, data protection under international law, and freedom of movement — the full spectrum of issues that arise when a client faces simultaneous exposure across multiple legal systems.

For clients navigating US-linked international exposure, the relevant question is not simply whether a lawyer has handled extradition cases. It is whether they understand how US federal proceedings interact with foreign criminal law, how INTERPOL channels are leveraged in that context, and how to mount a credible legal argument before a body like the CCF. The case above reflects exactly that combination in practice.

What to Look for in a Lawyer for This Type of Case

  • Early intervention capability: Can they file a pre-emptive CCF request before a Red Notice is issued?
  • Cross-jurisdictional fluency: Do they understand how US DOJ findings interact with foreign proceedings and INTERPOL data?
  • CCF experience: Have they worked directly with the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files?
  • Conflict-of-jurisdiction strategy: Can they identify and argue jurisdictional inconsistencies as a basis for challenging notice publication or dissemination?
  • Clear communication on risk: Can they explain the timeline and what each procedural step means for mobility, reputation, and legal exposure?

These criteria narrow the field considerably. Cross-border exposure involving US connections and INTERPOL channels is a niche that requires a specific combination of procedural knowledge and international legal experience. The right lawyer is not a generalist with a broad criminal practice — it is someone who operates precisely in this intersection.
