“Over the eight months of this year we have organized the consideration of more than 3000 requests for legal assistance in criminal cases of this category [cybercrime] from the competent authorities of the countries. This figure has already exceeded last year's results... The most active cooperation in this part is currently conducted jointly with Belarus, Armenia, the Republic of Korea, Poland, Turkey, and France... The number of requests that we process and send demonstrates that there is very active cooperation with law enforcement agencies of foreign countries, even despite the current political situation,” he explained.
“This year, for example, the competent authorities of European states refused 42 times on political grounds to extradite people to us. There are sporadic cases of refusal of legal assistance in criminal cases. Unfortunately, only criminals benefit from this position, and we consider it unacceptable,” he continued.
"We keep saying that we are open to equal, non-politicized law enforcement cooperation with all nations of the world, because our common enemy is the criminal, regardless of his nationality,” he stressed.
